UK CV conventions
- Two pages at most; one for graduates.
- No photo, date of birth or marital status.
- Put “References available on request” only if you have space; it isn’t needed.
- Match the job advert’s wording for skills, because ATS software and recruiters scan for those terms. Check how often you use them with the keyword checker.
