CV for Clerical Officer in school/college

    I'm thinking of applying for a couple of clerical officer roles that have come up in a school and a college nearby.

    My background is 10 years in tech and 5+ years in HR/admin. I have a one page CV that I have really whittled down recently.

    Do you think a one page CV is acceptable for these types of roles? Obviously i would include a decent cover letter with the applications.

    Also, I've used Canva to format it so it's not a traditional format but it includes all the usual relevant information (albeit in a much summarised way!).

    This is my first time applying for jobs in Ireland in about 20 years so I'm not sure what is expected and wonder if a more traditional 2-page CV would be required for these roles?

    I would think one page is fine. Less is more with cv's. Are you diversifying from hr ? Any civil service clerical roles that I applied for tended to have application forms. I havent used a cv for a while. Best of luck with it.
