Preparing your CV can be quite a difficult task as there is no universally accepted format. Some advise to keep it short while others say include as much detail as possible. From our experience in recruitment we recommend keeping it to two pages whilst including all relevant information.
The format should follow a logical progression in order to provide information to the reader in the right order at the right time.
The most important point to remember is that a CV is often your first opportunity to make a good impression.
