CV length

[SueEllen]

Why would a UK contractor be using one of those? I'm more of the thinking he's just plodded a long with his CV until it's turned in to this monster and has been too precious about it to be told otherwise.

Some clients ask for them.

I've had to change my CV in the past to put more detail in my old roles. The end length was about 12-13 pages.

The reason I had to do that was because the roles involved working alongside people with loads of academic qualifications. The most annoying thing on two occasions it was just an exercise to satisfy the client who had already given me the role as they needed to make their interview process look "fair".

The issue with having long CVs is they are generally full of repetition especially if the person's mother tongue isn't English and the earlier stuff isn't relevant.

A Europass CV?? The one where the template has space for a photo, asks for your sex and has a section for languages?

Even the Europass template has the qualifications below the work experience so BM can't be using it.

I've never had to include a photo with a CV. I will have to hunt to see what fecking template I was made to edit.
