There is a very important difference between a résumé and a CV. It stays on your personal computer forever, but from which you pick the relevant text when creating the all-important personal résumé. Changing a 5-page CV into a 2-page résumé will likely take you more time than it took to do the 5-page version. I often see candidates who have paid a fee to a résumé writer and received a beautifully designed document. The ATS is a stupid app that will parse or populate your CV or résumé into software used by recruiters and HR.
