How often should I update my CV?
In a dynamic industry, it’s more often than you might think suggests a two-fold approach to keeping up with your resume:
at the end of each fiscal quarter (so roughly every three months) and after each performance review you have with your boss.
How long should a CV last?
But while a resume is a brief one-page asset that only includes the most relevant information about your
career, a CV can be 2-3 pages and aims to emphasize the depth of your academic and work experience.
How long should a CV be kept?
However, the general guidance is still to include only the most recent 10 to 15 years.
This will help hiring managers scan your resume, keep your resume focused on your biggest achievements, and may help avoid age discrimination during the job search process.
