Keep it short. Two pages, three max. Of course, having had the one job for 30 years, this should be easy for you. I've never quite worked out how to keep mine that short with six different employers and and a nine year period of contracting with numerous jobs.

Two pages, three max. Again, this comes to a matter of taste of the reviewer. I think the best thing is to put skills and achievements on the first page. If that hooks them, then it's less important how long the rest is. That's speaking as a reader of CV's not a writer. > > Of course, having had the one job for 30 years, this should be easy for > you.

Contractor's CV's are generally (IME) expected to be longer. I saw a 16 pager the last month. That was *too* long, though. -- Catman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 COSOC#3 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) 116 Giulietta 3.0l Sprint 1.7 GTV TS GT 3.2 V6 Triumph Sprint ST 1050: It's blue, see. www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk |
