Don't worry too much, it can be and often it is, a lottery who gets the interviews and the job offer.

Originally posted by moorfield View PostDitto. Generally tailor my CV for each role. Would do the same for the permie role too, but be prepared also to waffle to an HR lass about "what you will be doing in 5 years time".
When I requested feedback, the HR assistant advised that my CV came across as a job specification and lacked detail.
I did tailor my CV, prior to submission, towards the role but was surprised by the comments regarding the lack of detail as I felt doing this makes the CV too long.
With hindsight, I get the impression the HR assistant was looking for all the information in front of her due to her lack of knowledge regarding the role/discipline etc as she worked for a large corporate and had to deal with applications for all corporate functions.
Would welcome advice regarding how to best tailor a CV in such a scenario.

How many versions of your CV do you have?
At present, I tailor my CV for each role I apply for to change the focus of the CV in order to highlight the most approporiate skills for the role.
However, I am now contemplating applying for permanant roles and wondered if my CV should be re-written completely, amended to include more detail or kept as it is.
