Originally posted by DaywalkerI am curious as a contractor is there any organisation that exists where a CV can be tailored to the specific position you perform, eg contractor not permanent. I have quite a few contracts on my CV with technical descriptions and they are taking up a lot of room, CV is now going onto 5 pages.

I have quite a few contracts on my CV with technical descriptions and they are taking up a lot of room, CV is now going onto 5 pages.
Descriptions per contract generally have no reason to go above 3-5 lines of summary (if anything besides management handy to put list of tech's used at bottom of summary, and don't put windows 98/xp ffs). This also gives you something to talk about at the interview.
Drop crap from 20 years ago, especially if it is no longer relevant or done the same type of thing 10 times since then
If your skills are varyed do multiple versions of your cv, if applying for PM jobs not point in giving descriptions of tricky code problems you solved, if applying for c# position no point in listing all your internet artwork/html experience.Comment

Sounds like his CV is toooooo long. 3 pages is enough, with a summary of skills on the first one.
