Ask HN: How long should a CV be?
I had an interesting exchange whereby the HR recruiter stated that my CV should have a length of 1 page for every 2 years of experience.
To me this seemed excessive; however, maybe I am out of touch.
I am not sure if this matters, but it was for a German company.

[ 3.8 ms ] story [ 16.8 ms ] threadI am not thrilled about my corporate work experience because my time in the corporate world is slow, boring, and largely unproductive. As a result I banish my corporate work experience to the distant nether region of page 3.
I would rather talk about my open source contributions and 5 military deployments. It’s sad when a military deployment becomes such a greater topic of conversation because they are usually pretty boring as well.
