Does anyone have a decent link for CV advice or examples?

Been in my job for ages so got to do mine from scratch again.

What industry are you in? The type and style of CV that you have often needs to be tailored to the type of role. I have been trying to recruit some managers recently and general rule of thumb is no more than 2 sides of A4 and no need to go back in any detail further than 10 years unless it's really relevant.

Use LinkedIn too, that's good source of info.

Recruitment agencies can be quite helpful. Some are better than others, The specialist ones tend to offer the most practical advice

Clean, concise and to the point is key. As someone else stated there's no issue having more than 2 pages but as long as the info is relevant i.e. you do not need 10 bullet points about when you were a paper boy in 1976 (this is not a slight on you personally nor anyone who was a paperboy in 1976 just exaggeration to make my point). Also there's no need to put a photo of yourself on there (again not an attack on the way you may look it is just not necessary).

Arial size 10 or Calbri size 11 is fine. DO NOT use wacky fonts.

Name at the top (this should be in a slightly bigger font i.e. 24). Then address, phone number and email address. You can also include your D.o.B and if you have a clean driving licence. Followed by a summary of your professional experience and why you would be an asset to a company (1-2 paragraphs is fine) followed by your employment history in most recent to last order. Then your education/ qualifications. Then things like hobbies/ interests if they make you stand out (don't put surfing the internet!)

I hope this helps and good luck in your search.

Have recently got a new job following re-writing my CV. Was previously over 4 pages, and had lots of boring/irrelevant information. My friend totally re-wrote it down to 2 pages and I got head hunted for 2 interviews, and offered a position in London for one of the Big4 accounting and auditing companies!
