They made some changes and now your CV must be within 100 kb to upload. My is 145 kb. I guess I should spend the next 2 weeks in the pub to lose some skills.

I am starting to suspect that they made some changes with the last Office updates. All My CVs used to be 70 k. However If I open one now , save it as a new doc , with a small change - even a single space , it saves to a ~ 140 K file. This is a 3 pages CV.
Edit:
Got it. You don't wanna select the option "Save Thumbnail" in office 07. This is what doubles the size.Last edited by 2uk; 3 September 2007, 18:01.Comment

Mine has the last 10 years on it - roughly 20 jobs of various types and sizes - all the necesary detail, contact points, headers and footers and some colour to make it look nice on the screen, 3 pages, 43Kb. What on earth do you write to get up to 140KB?
I suggest you cut and paste the text into a new document - you might reduce thje file size down to something sensible again.Blog? What blog...?Comment

I've recently upgraded to Office 2007 and didn't have any problems with thumbnails/file size. Maybe it only happens with new installs?Comment

It only adds about 70 K , but this can be a problem with CVsComment
