When you submit a CV, you are normally responding to an advertisement, mailshot or direct approach, which will always contain clues as to how to respond. For example, if an advertisement asks for strong man management skills, you should emphasise your achievements and skills in this area, a good way to do this is by accompanying your CV with a covering letter explaining your suitability to the role.
Your CV can be as long as your experience, we don’t believe it is beneficial to limit you to two pages, it’s important that you include everything - company turnover, headcount, products, clients etc. We can always take off anything that isn’t relevant to the job you are being put forward for.
Your CV will be used as the basis for interviewer's questions.
It is important not to allow gaps in your career history or unclear explanations to take up this valuable time. Your CV should also give an idea of your potential, therefore if you are currently or soon will be studying for an additional qualification, be sure to say so. Include genuine foreign language skills as these are highly sought after.
