I should no better having had to read hundreds in my own time, but I wanted to update my own CV recently, and its being a 'multi-media' CV, I was wondering if anyone had recently made one, and could give me some good tips.
Whats the standard layout?
Page 1.
Profile,
experience,
education?
Page 2.
Skills,
hobbies?
I say 2 pages as ive been told ppl dont like more. or I didnt...
Any ideas?

Ours are a bit different:
- personal details
- education and experience, you can choose which you do first
- skills
- hobbies
Without the profile. But I think you should keep the profile. And not more than 1-2 pages.
Try to make a non-boring one. Maybe you can add one of those CD/business cards with your portfolio on?

If multi-media it might be useful to have a website with a portfolio of relevant work...otherwise, yeah that seems fine.
...actually I totally left out hobbies. I thought it seemed wanky to put "was zombie in Shaun of the Dead", "opened V99 at Weston Park", "wears women's clothing" or "enjoys reading" when it's not relevant to anything to do with the job. If I built unix servers in my spare time, then yeah, I'd put that in, but no-one gives a **** about sports, reading, music or any of that crap in the real job market do they?

Actually I just asked a couple of the guys here and they recommended putting hobbies in - just so they have something non-work related to ask in the interview. Make sure it's not "I like reading, eating and breathing" tho'. Mention that you are a TF-comic designing genius.
