CV - are O and A levels relevent

[sawman]

I am just writing myself a new CV - My old one is a bit OldSkool as I havent needed one for a while.

Do I still need to mention school related stuff - its 25 years since I left and it doesnt seem that relevent to me now.

What say you?

A good guide is to list two, then drop one as you gain one. So if for example you are now at Masters level, show two below that, say a PG Dip and your first degree. If you gain a PhD, then drop the first degree, keeping the PG Dip and Masters. If you anticipate anything below that being relevant for a particular role, include it in your covering letter. The main reason for this is space conservation in order to keep your CV to a manageable size. Good luck!

I agree with the above.

Only if the lesser qualification is especially relevant to the job - for example if you needed latin for the job and you had an O-level in latin, list it.

If you need to fill space on the CV however, it's probably a good to put them down in full.

Good spelling is also relevant.
