Don't Go Overboard
While I agree with most of what's been said re the resume/cv, you really don't want it to be more than ONE (1) page long. The initial reviewer probably has hundreds to go through and each will have about 30 seconds attention.
Nowadys you don't need photos (pleeeze!), not unless you are going for a F/A position as well! Most "personal" stuff should be left out such as age (some countries have laws against age discrimination), marital status, number of kids, hobbies etc. That's all stuff for the interview. You want to only accentuate your qualifications and experience for the job.
Keep in mind that the resume/cv is only a tool to get the interview and pique the interest of the recruiter so that you get that call!
I have had plenty of experience of this from the candidate's viewpoint and in two very different countries.
