DO NOT MAKE THE CV TOO LONG.. try and keep it to one page. anylonger and they will get bored believe me.. i used to receive CV's in a previous job and we used to laugh at some of em .. they gave their whole bloody life story

 

one tip is make the CV dependant on the job.. should find that you never use the same CV layout twice..

if you're applying for the same kinda jobs though, eg: office junior or something then wouldn't you just photocopy the CV n whack it out all over town???

cv or curriculum vitae is meant to list basically everything you've achieved and all your details for your life and so is really long.

 

a resume is kinda how it sounds, a summing up of your life and details and so just picks out the important bits.

 

most employers want a resume in that case like andy said, keep it short, I was always told one or two page at the maximum (but not unreadable). Calling it a cv or resume these days is fine..the terms have become interchangable
