  1. You need to remember what the purpose of your CV is – it is purely a marketing document to get you into interview. Therefore, it should not be pages and pages of information. Ideally a CV should be no more than 2 pages with pithy information that will whet the appetite of the reader to want to meet you. You may need to adapt your CV for different job applications e.g. making it more sales orientated if you are applying for a sales role, or more specific experience in one sector if that is your requirement. I hope that this helps.

  2. Agree with points made by. The adjustments and additional notes should be related to the needs of each job you apply to. You can also add additional notes on your cover letter / email – provided it is short and relates to what the employer is looking for
