Last updated : 20 October 2009
This is the question that many jobseekers are asking all the time. Does a CV have to be one page?
How many pages should my CV be?
Experts states that a CV shouldn’t be longer than two sides of A4 paper. However if you are a super employee that has millions of schools, work experience and thousands of things to say in your CV then you can use 5 A4 paper!
What do you think?
I’d always advise one a4 page if possible for entry level jobs, two pages for people who have a lot of experience, and an absolute maximum of four for high flying professionals. Mention in detail what you have done for the last 10 years, and just summarise anything prior to that. Anything more than 10 years old does not require immense detail unless it is completely relevant to the role you are applying for.
Keep it short and sweet, or else you risk boring your prospective employer!
