For example, a lot of jobs posted on LinkedIn will have just a button you click and then you automatically submit the CV you uploaded. Other jobs will have you filling out some web form with your skills, and yet others expect CV with cover letter. Depending on this, you can move around the verboseness a bit. Expectations will also vary between different professions. A general rule of thumb, though, is to keep each document one page maximum, and easily readable. Googling CV and cover letter templates gives you a good starting point, then you just customize as needed for the job you're applying for. --- Stop being so aggressively argumentative for no reason. - UnfairRepresent <cite>scar the 1 posted [p:926555916] in On a resum...

A sample size of 30 from someone who didnt get a job < a sample size of 1 from someone who got the job on the first attempt I bet you think its a good idea for criminals to share criminal advice in prison... as if thry were some master criminal who was never caught how does that make any sense? i got called in for about 30/50 jobs i applied for. the job of the resume is only to get you into the interview....interviewing is an entirely different skill which this topic isn't about. FYI i got 4/30 of the jobs...over 13% of the jobs i applied for, and at the high level and competitive jobs i applied for, any recruiter will tell you that's a fantastic percentage --- https://imgur.com/QPgN9 <cite>No_U_L7 posted [p:926564570] in On a resum...
