Resume Question

[Alpha]

You're right.  If it was me I'd treat the freelance work like any other job.  It depends a bit on whether you're writing a chronological resume or a skills-based one.

@freeloader, that CV is the longest I have ever seen, the person could have shortened it..  "summed it up in two pages".  Wow, 73 pages for a  CV... He's about the same age as Johann and I bet even Johann would recommend a quick edit to remove everything beyond the first two pages!

a CV is different than resume. A resume should be a page or two, but the point of a CV is to throw EVERYTHING on there, and is usually for academic contexts. CV roughly translates into "course of life" or something like that (and resume to "summary").

So while it's probably not the best idea to hide your Nobel prize on page 3 like this guy, you also don't want to turn it into a summary, since it's specifically not supposed to be a resume.

That being said, don't bother building a CV unless you're specifically asked for one or working in academia. Most people will never need to go beyond the much more ubiquitous resume.
