This is a common question we get asked. The answer is: there is no set limit. As a guideline: a 1 page CV is normally enough for a graduate or someone with a limited career history. A 2-3 page CV is about average length.

Obviously, the length of your CV depends upon your level and your career history - an executive CV will no doubt have many more pages than a recent graduate.
