    How long is your CV?

    Just been paring mine down a bit, was running to 7 pages

    And I had to put my shiny new Prince2 qualification on there.

    Anyone top 7 pages long?
    Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

    I would not even bother reading anything over 4 pages.

    No wonder you cannot get interviews.

          4 pages, now that it's been pared down a bit.

          Seems to be working, though - phone interview tomorrow in case the current client don't get their paperwork in order for an extension

                4. But after the first 2 it's just more gigs and my old permie stuff so it's more like 2 pages with extras.

                  Two pages and assume the agent never gets to the second page.

                  First page needs to include contact info, mission statement, key skills and last couple of gigs.

                  Narrow the margins, increase the headers, decrease the spacing, but get it all in two pages.

                  (Unless you've done lots of stuff and had an interesting career - in that case, make it seven pages. But they still won't get past the first one.)
