How long CV should be?

- RECENT GRADUATE SHOULD COVER NO MORE THAN 2 PAGES - IF YOU CAN FIT IT INTO 1 PAGE, IT WOULD BE BETTER - IMAGINE THAT YOU ARE LAZY EMPLOYER , YOU DONT HAVE MUCH TIME : YOU WILL PREFER TO READ 1 PAGE CV THAT STAND OUT WITH THE QUALIFICATION COMPARE TO 2 PAGES In a survey of American employers 35%

preferred a one page CV and 19% a two page CV with the others saying it depends upon the position.

There is no right and wrong in making the good CV, It all depends on

company standardization. The point is make your CV stand out and massive with the good grammar

spelling and explanation! Good Luck

Thank you!
