Is it normal for everyone to give you conflicting advice on how to write a cv?
When applying for jobs, the vast majority of them will ask for a CV and/or a cover letter of some kind.
I'm a recent university graduate and most of my paid experience has been on a temporary ad-hoc basis BECAUSE OF UNIVERSITY.
Now, I understand that every company and every individual works differently, but the CV advice market is very crowded and the only thing all advisors give consistently is that a CV is for selling yourself.
One recruitment agency - for people with disabilities - says that I should delete work experience that was only temporary (Some of my paid work has literally only been for two days).
Some others have said that I should try and keep my CV to one page if at all possible.
However, I've just spoken with a free CV reviewer on a well-known job website and I was told that my CV needed to be two pages long!
The only way for me to make my CV two pages long is to list every form of job I've ever had; including temporary positions.
I have voluntary experience, have studied abroad as part of my degree and - not intending to boast - I have a wide range of skills and qualities that have come about as a result of these skills.
So why is it that nobody is actually consistent?
