I put the education at the end of mine (it's 3 pages). I figure that by the time they've read my job history, what quals I have is just added extra.Originally posted by OwlHootTwo pages?! I'm hardly started by page 3, and mine's six pages

Jayzuz,
three pages of qualifications !
My whole cv is 2 pages

Same, first two pages cover skills, work experience, last (3rd) page contains simply qualifications/education details and some additional skills/meta data for the agents...a 2.5 page CV I guess.
