CV tips (Part 6)
Make two pages, do not make ten
A lot of research has been undertken on how many pages an ideal CV should have. The results? All evidence show that the perfect number of pages should be 2. In two pages, one gets the balance between not boring the reader with so many details and just giving the right amount of information and ensure that the client or recruiter gets the amount and type of information that he or she wants. Younr CV should not be to long. It should not be too short just the same.
Look at it this way, think about the difference between a “brochure copy” and an “advertising copy”. Brochure copy would allow the client in an instant to decide on the spot of you are the right candidate even if he or she does not see you. An advertising copy gives away just enough or even little information to tease and to make sure that they call you in for an interview to find out more about you.
