C.V.'s should be 2 pages long - maximum. They should never read like War and Peace, nor should they be so sketchy that there's nothing to really grasp what you have previously done.
If your c.v. is too long, try to shorten it by:
Shortening sentences
Not repeating words
Using bullet points rather than whole paragraphs
Leave out names and addresses of referees (they can be sought later)
Leave out full addresses of companies you have worked for - a company name and town is enough
Don't put down your age, height, marital status, health etc.
If you've had lots of jobs consider condensing the ones that are earlier in your career and list them under the span of the years i.e. 1967 - 1987
Try a slightly smaller font for some areas of the c.v. (but don't go too small that they need a magnifying glass to read it)!
If you are still failing to condense it - send it to me!! christine@high10.co.uk
