Hello everyone,

I am currently updating my CV in order to apply for work in Thailand, Singapore or Hong Kong.

I would like some advice on what a good CV should include. Should I try and keep it to 1 A4 side? Should I try and include books I have used and include a photo / references???

Thanks for any advice..

I have a photo on the top and often send my passport. Why do I do both? My passport photo is horrible, as I'm sure most people's are. Plus, it's old, often employers want a recent photo.

Mine is 2 pages. If you can fill it, that's fine, but don't pad. I think 2 pages should be the max.

I have my personal info at the top, like a photo, address, phone, email, marital status, teaching experience years, degrees, birth date, birth place, all that is about 4 lines.

Then I have my teaching experience, publications, and presentations on the rest of the page. ON the second page I have my education and professional development, like workshops attended, affiliatations, and voluteering at conferences. At the bottom I have three quotes lifted from my references.

I left out books I've used and just write them down and remember them when asked at an interview. If you're looking to fill space, you could put that.
