PostPosted: Wed Oct 01, 2008 2:09 pm    Post subject: A few formatting CV questions. Reply with quote

I'm creating a hybrid CV that most closely resembles the chronological format. My categories include the following:

Name (address info, etc)
Personal Statement (what I'm looking for)
Core Skills (4 core skills related to the job I'm applying too)
Qualifications (brief description of my core skills and work history)
Work Experience (Um, work experinece)
Education (Um, education)
Personal Interests (a few bullets on my personal interests)
References

Should I omit any category?
Should I rearrange the order?
Currently it's 2.5 pages long; is this too long?

I will post it here once its complete for further assistance. Thank you in advance for your input.
