Billy might be a good one to answer, just a question of aesthetics regarding CVs
I'm supposed to be driving up to Newcastle to tout my CV around some agencies for temp work when I move up there but I left my CV to the last minute and have just finished it
It's 4 pages long, shall I do it double sided or one page on four sheets?
I know it's stupid but these things can make a difference

Do it doubles sided. You should limit your CV to 2 pages because employers can't be arsed to read more.

Cheers CYS, I was thinking double sided anyway and Mrs H has swayed me. Appreciate the input though |

I know it's stupid but these things can make a difference Double sided But really it shouldn't be more than 2 pages long if you want them to look at it. If it's all relevant fair play but I'd edit it down a bit *EDIT I notice Laura has already said this!   |

It's only quite long as before this job I was a bit of a job hopper  And some of the spacing on the CV template is fucked up so the references have gone on a page to themself. It's not War and Peace anyway, they'll soon have an idea of my limitations skills after a few lines |

No point putting Shop Bitch in if I'm applying to be Head of ICI! What's the job? |

I'm just planning on temping for a while, I've not had much look applying for permanent posts up there, I think they see that I'm in the Midlands and don't appreciate the fact that I am trying to move (even though I mention it) Ideally I'd like to do something legal, like the Tribunal service or courts but they've fucked me off twice so I'll try again when I've got a permanent address in the area I just want some reasonable demanding office work to tide me over It's only quite long as before this job I was a bit of a job hopper And some of the spacing on the CV template is fucked up so the references have gone on a page to themself.

Sorry have only just seen this - I wouldn't do it double sided tbh - I've never seen a CV like that. Also if you can cut it down (as Mrs H says) that would be better too Anything else let me know |

Also if you can cut it down (as Mrs H says) that would be better too Jules said it too, but Jules was ignored! Jules wants a gold star too! Jules is really quite sad!  |
