    hello mate

    basically from what i have experienced the CV should be approximately 2 a4 pages long. This is how mine is laid out:

    Page 1

    1: Personal details (Name, contact details, nationality, marital status, driving licence status etc.)

    2: Specific skills i've gathered over the years

    3: Education (How many GCSE's, A levels, what i did at uni etc)

    Page 2

    4: Employment details.

    Include name of employer and the dates that you were employed there, including your current position. Write a brief summary of your main roles, duties and responsibilities and perhaps also what you gained from working there.

    5: Interests and Activites: a short brief about what interests you outside of work; sports, volunteering etc.

    6: References ... easiest to just put References available on request.

    Remeber you can embelish somewhat, jazz things up a bit if they sound a bit dull but never lie on your CV (although that never affected Lee from the Apprentice)

    Hope that helps, actually be interested to see what other people think!
