The point of a CV is to get an interview. People think that it is there to get you a job but that's not the case. My CV used to be 3 pages, but I recently decided to slim it down and when you really start boiling things down, it's surprising how much repetition and non-achievements were there. For example, I stated that I managed a team of 10. But didn't say how good I was at doing it or how successful I had been. I now have 3 versions of my CV.
1 page very to the point version which is the one I use most often.
2 pages, which fluffs it up a bit but, I rarely use this.
4 pages, which is my personal version containing all the bits I might want to swap into the 1 pages to suit the role.
