ppl post here that a resume should be 2 pages of length maximum. i was thinking, is it really nice to cram everything into 2 sheets of paper?

coz, wouldn't it be too saturated with information. moreover, i think to be able to do that, the font used will have to be small too. is that ok?

as for my current CV, it's in a tabular format. 5 pages long, but i only put those necessary info. it's 5 pages long coz of the table and the font use. it looks neat and clear. dunno whether it's better like that or not.
i would appreciate some comments on this matter.

1 more question. if submit CV tru email, do we still need to attach a cover letter or do we just type it in the email as though the email is the cover letter itself?

i cramped all into 2 page and i think it was good.

no need put all your subjects and grades into the resume. just attach your transcript.

maybe you want to highlight your skills in brief such as:
. Operating Systems: Windows XP/2000, Basic UNIX and Linux
. Programming Languages: C++, C#, Java, Visual Basic 6, PHP, XHTML, PERL, OpenGL
. Software: Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Macromedia Flash, Dreamweaver, Oracle 9i, MySQL
. General skills: Networking, Computer Hardware Assembly and Troubleshooting
