	Depends on how much work you've done (if you've been doing 1 month
	projects for a year, it may be hard!), but the key selling points,
be they
	skills or experience summary, *have* to be on page 1.

	[Burns, Martin]  
	Depends on the employer. They'll tend to give jobs to people like
them,
	so a games development co. might be all jeans, whereas a bank will
	be suits. My tip? Dress like you want/expect to on the job. If you
will
	be pissed off working in a suit, go casual. I tend to go beige
jeans,
	shirt (ie suit shirt open-necked) and reasonable black shoes, which
	can be interpreted either way.

	If you don't think it's boasting, I can share mine which has got me
a few
	interviews lately.
