2-4 pages maximum with basic formatting that is easy to read. But make sure you remember to check it for spelling and grammar! |

List your most recent work experience first and just summarise the role you held if its more than 10 years ago

Sometimes this is equally as important as paid work experience, so don't forget to include it |

Simply note in your CV that these are available and bring any written ones to the interview
