Looking for a new job is tough - and it takes up so much time that it's like a job in and of itself. It's an employers' market, you have a lot of competition to face and who knows what's happening in this economy.
All you have to recommend you is your CV. It's your calling card and it can make or break your career. And annoyingly, everyone has a different idea of what a good CV looks like - it can be very polarising. Who knows what you're supposed to do?
But one thing we can all agree on is that a CV that is too long is a no go. No one wants to read a three-page document listing all the societies you were in at university or all the kids you babysat at high school. It's not interesting and it's not relevant.

But how do you make all your experience look snappy and appear on one page? Well, CV writing mastermind Novoresume has taken tech billionaire Elon Musk's decade spanning career and whittled it down to the important information in a clear and engaging way. In one page.

That's right, Elon Musk's entire high achieving career is captured on one page by Novoresume who believe in the minimalist less is more approach when it comes to CVs. Is this the new trend in CVs?
If you look closely, you'll see that one of his skills is 'micro-managing' - a bit of an in-joke as Musk is known to be quite demanding to work for and even referred to himself as a 'nano-manager'.

If Elon Musk's achievements and career can be shown on a one page CV, then yours can too. Let go of that old crusty Word doc created CV - it's only holding you back.
