CV Tip 27
If your CV is too long then you need to shorten it. Ideally you should aim for two pages maximum, and if you can write a powerful one page CV, then all the better. Nothing stands out more than a well presented and well-written one page CV – although admittedly one page CVs are the hardest of all CVs to write – and especially those that simultaneously do a great job of selling your skills – which is why many (although not all) professional CV writers/companies struggle to do it properly.
