Remove irrelevant positions and focus on projects that match the target.

Assumedly during your career you have done multiple small projects on one topic or another, highlight the ones that interest the employer and the ones you feel particularly proud of, don't mention the others.

An interesting point. But employers should start giving out instructions on what they want to see.

I had a few employers tell me that my resume of 5 pages was not long enough and others that complained about too much information.

So... This provide only relevant information is as valuable as keeping quiet.

When you advertise a position, do you inform what form the CV should be in?

The hiring process is de facto a completely subjective system of both sides hoping the other would screw up to make their decision easier, while playing mind games.

I interviewed at Bridgewater on site, their interview was awesome and clear. More companies should be that clear and forthcoming as Bridgewater Associates.
