Some applicants submit long CV i.e. 20 pages, and some others short cv i.e. half page, WHAT DO YOU THINK, A PERFECT CV SHOULD BE OF HOW MANY PAGES?

Above all, it must be simple

The ideal resume should be no more than2 pages. It is more convenient and easier to explore all the experience of the candidate, spending on reading about a minute. If the experience is big enough, focus on the description of the last three places of work, fluently told about previous jobs, specifying only the most important responsibilities

maximum2 pages

What is the ideal CV length? We have seen CVs over30 pages long (true!), with photocopied certificates on top of that. This is not an autobiography you’re writing. It’s a curriculum vitae and it’s meant to be a lot shorter! A one-page CV if it is feasible is recommended – and some recruitment agencies, especially head-hunters, may insist on a one-page CV. Failing that, two pages is entirely acceptable and in certain circumstances, it may be acceptable for a CV to run to three pages - but only for certain special cases, e.g. a medical CV where multiple qualifications and experience must be provided in detail. People often feel that a one-page CV is worth less than a two-pager but this is definitely not true. It is much better to have a good, strong one-page CV than a two-page one that is padded out with unnecessary information. You should always be aiming to exclude irrelevant information which may detract from other more important points. Often a CV which has been spread out over two pages can, with a little careful tweaking, be made to fit onto one page – and this tends to have greater impact. It is of course important not to force a CV unnecessarily onto one page when two pages would be better but a1½ page CV tends to look incomplete and weak. Finished CV longer than two pages? There’s only one answer to this question – unless you fall into a "special case" as outlined above, you need to keep working on your CV until you’ve reduced it to the standard two pages. Take a long, hard look at your CV and consider: • Removing some of the less important points you’ve made • Finding ways to communicate the same points more concisely • Ruthlessly eliminating all unnecessary words and phrases • Axing non-essential sections, for example your Objectives • Placing your Interests & Activities under Other Details • Changing the design and page layout to create more space • Editing, rewriting, polishing and perfecting until it fits! Regardless of the length, do make sure that all your most important information is conveyed on the first page or, for a one-page CV, in the top half of the page – because too many recruiters simply won’t always look any further.

2 pages will be nicest if used properly, drag all the relevant work at least as individual bullet point rest summarise into one point.

C.V  should not be more than maximum2 pages. The recruiter does not have the time to go through a long C.V. Hence the long C.V will go to waste bin. 

CV must be summarize and containing only two to three pages. 

 

Two pages

a cv should not be too be long because it would make the examiners loose interest he has many cv to go through

Relevance and content of interest  is what matters most. length of cv has no attraction.

I must say the CV should be just a single page.

Concise to the point letting the employer know about who you are to get an interview call.
