How many pages for a CV

[Fred Bloggs]

I still keep my CV to between a page and half to two pages. I have been in the business >38 years but I have nothing older than 20 years on the CV and the older stuff is a one liner. If my CV threatens to go over the 2 pages then I take the opportunity to remove some more of the old stuff and bring it back to less than 2.

Has anyone had a cv written by a "professional" CV writer? Are these recommended? If so which one?
Cheers.

Unless your CV is an utter pile of poo and you don't have a clue about CV's I would save your money. The few CV's I have seen churned out from these guys were not good and needed re-work again.

Also you should be changing you CV for every role you apply so all you are going to gain from this service is a generic template which you are going to have to change every time. If you search these forums you will find a lot of advice on how to lay out CV's. The detail is down to you and the role you are applying for. Generic services won't help here.
