    Publishing your CV online?

    Who has published their CV online, on their own website, or a place searchable by Google?

    I am redoing my CV for a new role and unsure of the structure decided to Google the words 'CV', 'PDF' and the job title I was interested in. After downloading the first 20 CV's I found, I am just amazed that people leave these online!

    What was the average number of pages for a CV we recommend?

          There was a similar question to this posed a while ago.

          One of the tips from that thread was to publish your CV with disposable contact details - email address/mobile no.

            I put invisible watermarks of naked people and hidden comments on my 'electronic' CV to see if anyone notices
            Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

              Came across this insert on someones CV

              Professional experience (summary)
              Service Delivery Manager Electrabel 01/09-current

              SOX & Audit Consultant Axa Tech 10/08-12/08

              Security Officer Atos Origin 05/08-08/08

              Senior Security Architect Dexia Technology Services 04/07-04/08

              ICT and Security Management Web and Co 12/05-current

              ICT Manager Stater Belgium 09/04-12/06

              IT Manager ADT Security Services 11/02-09/04

              ICT Manager GRH Management 11/00-11/02

              IS Operations Team Leader Mobistar 01/00-11/00

              IT Manager Aritech Europe/ SLC Technologies/Interlogix 03/95-01/00

              MIS Manager Aritech Europe 04/91-03/95

              MIS Manager Assistant Aritech Europe 11/90-04/91

              Analyst-programmer, then IT Manager Absalon-Thijs 03/85-11/90

              Obviously formatted in the original. Really liked it as a 'summary', with a view to only expand on the relevant areas.

              Only issue is, I am now up to 20 lines on this in 15 years, with at least 10 more to go and that's after I've cut back some.

              I think I may be a contracting slut.

                Don't put your date of birth in it, and if you do put your photo - this would deter identity thiefs
