Excellent book 17 Oct 2011
Format:Paperback
I was looking for wok a while ago and found this book really useful. It gave all sorts of information about what to put in and what not to put in to CVs and also lots on the importance of covering letters. It also gave some good stuff on how to answer difficult interview questions, which was helpful too. I have now got a new job so the book and study that I did must have helped somewhere.....

Now I'm not an expert on CV writing but the one thing I was always told is that a CV should not a longer than two pages. This to me is why a CV is so hard to write as you try and condense a lifetime of work and study down to two A4 pages. In this book no mention of this basic advice, and you are given various CV examples which are 3 to 4 pages long!

Buy "You're Hired" by Corinne Mills who actually knows what she's talking about and mentions that a CV should be no longer than two pages and gives good CV examples.
