Heh. I always went with one to two pages. And then worked on getting a US visa. And was, uh, strongly suggested to write a five to six page CV. Felt quite wrong.



A CV is a different thing than a resume, at least from a US perspective. I actually have both.


Interesting, I wasn't really aware of the US vs. western Europe difference in differentiating those terms - they're used interchangeably in a lot of countries.


A CV is supposed to be exhaustive, so "as many pages as it takes" is right there AFAIU. But then again, I seldom ask for them.
