New CPL - one page. Any more means you are padding it. Ditto very large type face, front covers and plastic binders - all a waste of good trees and petrochemicals.

10,000 or more hours with several jobs behind you - two pages.

Avoid the pretty picture with wings and gold bars prominently displayed. This is an ego-alert. Ditto posing in the Cessna or lounging all over the Corvette with some babe sitting on your face. Double ego-alert At the most, attach a standard passport photo of head and shoulders wearing a plain white shirt.

Don't bull**** with hours and experience. If you have not flown a type in command, don't disguise co-pilot or dual hours to look like command. By all means list ICUS as what it is - ICUS.

Be prepared to tailor the c.v. to the job. If it's out in the bush and you have done some work mustering or scenic flying in woop-woop make mention of that. If instructing is part of the deal on offer with a bit of charter on the side, make a real point of how much you enjoy instructing because you know that's mostly what they want you for.
