How long should a CV/Resume be?

How long should my CV be this is a question that we have frequently asked and it seems that they are furious thoughts on the matter so here's our expert opinion firstly your CV is a document that you used to convince prospective employers to meet with you it's your professional life story and to achieve this your CV must have relevance for a moment put yourself in the prospective employer’s shoes is this a CV

that you will expect to see in relation to the spankin see as the information presented in a professional document which is easy to understand and is it enough to convince the employer that you are the right person for the role sadly for some reason some people believe that a one-page cv document is enough now if you are a graduate or have no work experience then this is true but if you have several or many years work experience then you can be selling yourself short with a one-page cv document and the reviews as true as well if you provide too many pages of information in your cv it can turn people off and lead them to the conclusion that you find it difficult to get to the point.

We recommend that a CV should be three to five pages in length maximum as recruiters we're looking for several key things in your cv document and need to be able to locate them quickly don't over complicate it make sure it flows well and is easy to understand a career summary can be useful this can be used to highlight your key skill focus on the last 10 years of your employment and make sure that the jobs that you do highlight are relevant to the one that you're applying for make sure that your achievements dates and reasons for leaving and clearly stated you can list your personal interests at the end and last but not least don't forget to include your personal details that's surprising how many people do and finally we recommend that you give you cv to a friend and get them to read over at once then ask than what you've been doing for the last 10 years and see if they can tell you how good you are at it we hope you found this information helpful and wish you all the very best with your job search.
