Tips
- CV length: It is generally recommended to limit the length of your CV to 2 A4 pages. For certain senior-level jobs, including the Environmental Consultant position, it is acceptable to go into 3 pages whenever absolutely required. However, short and concise CVs are still favourable; “I didn’t have time to write you a short letter, so I wrote you a long one instead.”
Good Luck!
