Your CV doesn't need to list every job you've ever had. Pick the roles that show where you're headed, not just where you've been. One clear page that tells your story beats three pages of noise.
Unpopular opinion: a two-page CV isn't a sin if every line earns its place. I've read too many one-pagers that cram skills into a keyword soup and skip the actual results. Trim the fluff, not the proof. What's your rule for deciding what makes the cut?

Before you start working, write down the one task that would make today feel like a win. Do that first, before email or messages. Everything else can wait its turn.
