Anyone know if CX likes to see the resume/CV info formatted in a certain way? In the US, one page, and real general is best. Any reason to think otherwise? Any input into how others may have done it would be great! Fly safe....Clip BTW any operational info concerning CX and SARS etc?

One page short and simple....the initial CV is just to check your expeirence. They will then send you an application which asks for you to attach your CV again. (You can then send a more formal one if you wish) I sent just the basics....a page, big font (12) easy to read. Just the facts. You'll get the job on your interview and sim ride not your CV.
Top tip though..... no spelling mistakes!
SARS is going to hurt HKG and CX for a while to come.....when we muscle through it recruiting will take a while to pick up again.
Re SARS itself: DO NOT believe any "facts" you read in the press its all scaremongering and not half as bad as the headline hunters would have you believe. Unfortunately their drivel is impacting on all walks of life here. CX is hurting bigtime, finance is down (again), the restuarants are empty....so everyone from the Pilots to the Bottlewashers are worried for their jobs.
The power of the popular press is frightening!
That said...if any Drs or Nurses frequent these forums.... you have my utmost respect for putting yourself in the line of fire. No more no less than those in the Desert.
