I do a lot of hiring. I'm in the legal field. Things that bug me:

1. CVs longer than one page
2. Resumes that are needlessly long (ie 3 pages long instead of one page and a bit)

If you have interests, or have done something interesting in your life (ie travelled the world by bicycle, lived in a foreign country) put it on your resume, it'll make you stand out as interesting and get you the job over the boring person.

I cull the resumes I receive pretty quickly.
