So #infosec #jobs thread.
In the last 12 months, I've been involved with 60+ interviews for various SOC, IR etc roles. This has come from about 120+ CV/Resume submissions.
To start, a caveat though - this is all IMHO. Hiring is an amazingly individual event.
First CV length. The common wisdom is that it has to be under 2 pages and very tailored to the role. I disagree. A CV should be concise but it also needs to provide enough information to make the hiring manager want to speak to you. If there is an HR screen, it needs to contain
a tonne of possibly random keywords. If a job advert asks for 10 different skills, and you can fit this in to 1-2 pages, chances are the person reading it will find it missing detail and think it is unconvincing. If it's your first job a 1 page CV is ok but the more you've done
the longer your CV gets. I don't have a perfect answer but I'd say don't fret about it. A large part of the hiring process is automated and even the people who read it will read it online scrolling through to get to the bits they are interested in. Long CVs rarely put people off.
Sidenote: if they do, they are likely to be difficult to work with so you might be OK with them rejecting you after all.
