If it’s more than one page it’s a CV. Resumes are one pagers only IMO

My CV is 42 pages long and covers 33 years of consulting I find it a useful resource to remember everything I have done and I use it to build CV’s for particular applications. In fact there is a blog post in the US by one of my peers that says unless your Karl Smith you should have a 2 page CV. And I agree with that. I also have a two page CV. I don’t include school/High School qualifications just my last one which was a Masters in Computer Science completed in 2006. In that I include all the modules because they are great key words. A one page CV would concern me as a potential employer as while it shows an adept mind to reduce content to valuable insights it also raises the question around lack of experience. Secondly I always check business and social media on each candidate to see what’s true and what’s not true.

You can make it a one-liner and say, “I do taxes.”

If you have enough experience to warrant 2 pages without fluff, go for it. More than 2 isn't advisable.

Terrible idea! They look at your resume on average of a few seconds… one page + cover letter AT MOST.

I got interviewed at KPMG and got positive feedback. I am offered consultant position and was asked to share my documents with expected salary.

Is it normal that it may take this much time or is it possible they can close the position internally without giving me an offer letter?

Hi Fishes,

I have attended two interviews with cognizant for the same role. From that, I have got an offer letter from one panel and I am discussing with the HR about to make some salary revise.
Unfortunately, the second panel also processed my profile and it got short listed and they come back for a talk to process the offer letter. Now the first panel HR called me and asked about the second process why it got happened.
Does this results in any drawback for the offer letter i have got already?

I got interviewed at infosys two days back.
When can I expect to hear back from them.
Also all the questions that were asked to me were written coding questions(Write block of code) none were verbal.I could write all answers but none was 100% correct.

At last I asked the interviewer about feedback as in where was I wrong. He said at couple of places and he explained me where was I wrong.

Do you all think I will be rejected?
