It’s no longer news that employers spend between 15 to 30 seconds to look through each CV. One vital area that puts them off easily is seeing CVs with high number of pages.

What Is The Common Length Of A CV?

There are no absolute rules though but, in general, a new graduate’s CV should cover not more than two sides of A4 paper (2 pages). CVs in the US tend to be shorter i.e. a page while in the UK 2-page CV still dominates for graduates. As employers are getting more and more CVs, they tend to reduce the time spent on perusing CVs. In Nigeria, an applicant's CV ought not to exceed 2 pages. If you can summarize your career history comfortably, this is fine and has advantages. However, academic and technical CVs may be much longer i.e. up to 4 or 5 pages.

How To Cut Your CV Down Or Reduce The Number Of Pages

• Change your margins. In MS Word, go to Page Layout /Margins/ Narrow – this will set your margins to 1.27cm.

• Change the body font to Calibri in 11 pts size. Calibri is a modern font which has been designed for clarity on a computer screen.

• Use bullets for content (job responsibilities), rather than long paragraphs of text.

• Set line spacing to single.

• Referees/References, state of origin, religion, etc are no longer essential for modern day CVs. They’ll be useful in subsequent job stages.

If after all these tricks you are still on three or more pages, you have to be ruthless with your content by reading every single word and remove those that don’t add value to your CV.

Cv is British English and resume is American but they mean the same thing i.e a summary of your academic and employment history. How you compose it is matter of choice.

...Ain't we saying the same thing?... "...they are used interchangeably"?

...good of you

These two, to a large extent, are used interchangeably. A Curriculum Vitae is more of a summary of your educational and academic backgrounds. It also includes your teaching and research experience and so on. A CV entails deeper revelation of your career. In other words, it is in depth when compared to a Resume.

On the other hand, a Resume is a summary of your skills, experience, and education. A Resume is brief and concise in nature as compared to a CV which is longer. In reality, most job seekers don’t really differentiate them by the explanation given above. Rather, they tend to prepare theirs based on what their environment tagged it. For example,the term ‘CV’ is majorly used in Europe, Africa, or Asia while in United States, such document is regarded as a Resume.
