company where I applied for a job requires a very detailed CV mainly of programming languages, frameworks, technology. My CV have 3 pages but for this company is not enough detailed. ;)

What structure have your CV in programming languages, frameworks, technology, third-party libraries? Any sample of good structured CV. (as pdf file)

Of course I had used the google but I found a dozen same old things. I would like have someting orignal and fresh. Any inspiration?

I do not know what to write for example C #.

C#

  • OOP, delagate, event, generic, LINQ

other

WPF

  • control, data template, converter, style, triggers..?

Prims, Caliburn, MEF

  • ?

Also which skills from OS, IDE, util is suitably to have in CV.

I would’t have a 10 pages CV or have bad and immense structure of CV.

Sory for my english

Seems more like a brain-dump than any type of structured CV. What are they going to ask in the interview, list every function you've ever used? – JeffO Jan 11 '11 at 2:38

You can always do what I did.

I have a careers.stackoverflow.com CV posted. I then followed that format exactly to redo my resume.

I have received both interviews and job offers after using it, so it can't be too bad of a format.

Oki, I try it but I need something more detailed – tomas Jan 10 '11 at 23:38
Where you list your skills/likes/dislikes/experiences on the careers CV, expand them out into full paragraphs explaining how you used those technologies/skills. Doing that you should easily be able to reach beyond more then 3 pages. – Dan McGrath Jan 10 '11 at 23:52

Interesting that a company would want such a detailed CV though... I thought there time would be better spent interviewing/testing the skills you list, rather then reading a large CV which is almost as easily faked as a small one giving this age of Google and Q&A sites. – Dan McGrath Jan 10 '11 at 23:54

Someone sends me a 4 page CV, has got some explaining to do in their cover letter because they'll have no chance of an interview (Exception would be for an academic position.). – JeffO Jan 11 '11 at 2:42
+1: I've had interviews and offers through it myself. I generally keep all my experience there, and then use it to narrow down into a CV that I send to specific jobs. – Ryan Hayes Jan 11 '11 at 3:58

Try here: http://careers.stackoverflow.com

You can set up your CV for free (and publish it for a small fee). Regardless of if you publish it or not, it will give you a great structure for your CV that you can use.

+1 Glad I wasn't the only one who thought of C.SO for this purpose :) – Dan McGrath Jan 11 '11 at 3:48
