I have found that many people ignore the fact that recruiters go through hundreds of CVs daily and unless something really catches the eye, it goes straight into the rubbish bin. <br /><br />Another common fallacy is to assume that if you are a great professional (which surely you can be), it is crystal clear from the piece of paper that you are sending around. Best experts are so often deft at concealing their strongest points and most remarkable achievements in tiny font or messy formatting.<br /><br />Finally, I always advise to have a resumé and a CV. Send out your resumé first (ideally, one-page), and then if the recruiter is interested, you will be asked for more details in one form or the other.
