Employers only have your CV to go on. If you do not make your CV the very best it can be, you are at a disadvantage. You really have to put a lot of effort in to getting your CV perfect.

That does not mean filling it with everything you have ever done neither does it mean an hour in front of the computer to bash out the main points. You need to make it interesting (as much as a CV can be). Your CV should show the employer why they should employ you above everyone else. A tall order perhaps, but if you aim for that goal your CV will be so much better.

Many people apply for jobs and wonder why they do not get an interview. They wonder how other people less able get on better than they do. They blame luck or they must know someone in the company that hired them. Fact is they probably just communicate better. So, if you are struggling to get a job try to communicate more effectively. That definitely starts with your CV.

Employment department personnel are always very busy. They do not have time to wade through lengthy CVs. They have a position to fill and their boss wants it filled yesterday! So if your CV is long winded and time consuming to read, chances are they will bin/delete your CV before finishing. Remember, there are no companies out there in any industry that have a shortage of CVs. "Too few CVs in our database" is not a complaint we have ever heard from any company in the oil industry or any other industry for that matter. So, the employment department person will just skip your CV for the next one.
