i keep my cv to a minimum, skip over qualifications and stuff. i've obviously got everything up to my degree and the rest is experience.
i've found in my line of work, the more projects/ exposure to different work environments you have, the better it reflects on you. my cv is kept to 2 pages as i've recruited before and if people dont keep their cv's to the basics i.e qualifications, skills, experience and personal profile then i bin it as i havent got time to read through someones waffle of how they did this and that and worked at burger king when they were 13 etc.
if i like what i've read, i call em up for an interview and compare what i have read about the type of person to the picture i have drawn up in my mind. if they match up and fill the criteria of the role, they are hired.
