My CV fits on one A4 page. It briefly outlines my previous job title and workload for them, noting particular high achievements. It has my educational achievements, contact details (snail-mail, e-mail and phone number) and a simple breakdown of my strongest skillset and working knowledge skillset.
On one page the potential employer can see where I've come from, get an idea of my level of success, brief overview of what I'm used to working with (project wise and in what sort of a company) and a quick run through of whether or not I feel suitable to work for them. My portfolio/interview is what lets them decide if they think I'm suitable.
It's not a stylish CV but it's not a simple word jobby. A nicely laid out and stylised PDF seems to go down well.
