Building a one-page CV one page is not an easy undertaking, but if you follow these five steps, you should be able to approach this task with a bit more confidence: 1. Filter your professional activities and choose only that information that matches the position you’re targeting. 2. Arrange the information in reverse chronological order, with the most recent information first. 3. Use columns to organize the information so that it maximizes the use of space. 4. Add details about skills and competencies either at the bottom or on the side. 5. For even more brevity and a visual touch, use a timeline format for your professional experience section, displaying your career and education information in two different streams. Add any important achievements as milestones on the time band.    Before sending your one-page resume out to recruiters, we recommend spending some time to customize it with fonts and colors that are easy on the eyes, so that it becomes a reflection of your professional image.
