It annoys me even though I’m still in the U.S.

Edit: For everyone saying CVs and resumes are different, that might be literally the case, but that is not how job applications are using them. I just went to this one:

    I don’t know what to say.

    This is just outright wrong. But you so confident about it I doubt anything I will say matters.

    Every single person I have ever spoken to. From teachers in school, university advisors, parents, friends, family, HR staff, bosses, have said that a CV is no more than 3 pages. Almost always it is said to be 2, sometimes 1 is offered and very occasionally I have heard 3. But never more. Should always be tailored but I have heard people making generic enough ones that can be used for similar jobs.

    I guarantee almost all job that specifically asks for a CV would throw out a 10 pager.

    Unless you are talking about how things were in the 1800’s this is just wrong. Which I doubt anyone got a job with more than a handshake before 1945.
