Tips
Length: If you have worked in the field for a long time or you have some substantial work experience to discuss then it is fine to make your CV 3 pages long, although it is generally advisable to limit your CV to 2 A4 pages.
Science is science: Even though Chemistry is a sub-section of science, the reality is that all branches of science are fundamentally the same in principle and methodology. Any previous work experience or even personal interest or hobby in another related field can still be a real bonus point on your CV!
Good Luck!
