When applying for a first job most candidates do not have a great deal of information to put on their Curriculum Vitae and should not get too carried away with details of their interests, academic accomplishments or three days work shadowing. People nearing the end of their careers can fit their CV on two pages so those at the beginning of their career should be able to cover everything on one sheet of A4 but if they are exceptional then two pages is the absolute maximum.
