Yes point taken however that is only your opinion. I have been knocked back in the past for some jobs because my CV wasn't detailed enough. I have also had people call me up and ask me to be more thorough with my CV.
The secret is
relevant detail, provided in an
abbreviated format. Being blackboard monitor in Grade 6 may be important to you, but doesn't interest your possible future employer.
I probably read 200 to 300 CVs each year. Two things get up my nose:
- Irrelevant padding; and
- Applicants who don’t know how to use their Spell Checker.
