A resume, on the other hand, is a one or two page summary of your skills, experience and education. You should choose the format that best suits the position you are applying for. For a position which requires a lot of technical expertise, say Legal Practice, you may need to include more detailed information and go into great specifications of cases you have acted in. However, either can be used. It really depends on how much detail you want to go into. I would recommend using a CV where you can. By providing the hiring person with as much information as you can upfront, it allows them to get a better understanding of your skills and a better chance of being successful. I would also recommend going only as far back at your last 4 -6 jobs, depending on the level of information you would need to provide. This is another point where you may consider using a resume instead. If you have had a lot of jobs (say you are a contactor) you may need to list quiet a few, in which case a detailed CV would probably extend to five or more pages. I hope this information has been helpful. We will be running a few seminars soon on resume/ CV writing as well as interview techniques. I will be posting all the details once the speakers are finalised. If you would like to attend drop me an email and I can include you on the invitee list, otherwise, just keep an eye on the website. info@redlinecs.com.au Hey Alex,

Some people tell me to pull my entire work history on my CV and others say to keep my CV to a minimum and only put experience related to the position than i am applying for.
