I'm applying for a scholarship and they say to enclose a short CV, no more than 2 pages. What should I include, and does this include references?

i can't see how they can make it any clearer, if they tell you anymore they'd be telling you how to write it. just include your standard stuff, if you only include relevant materials, i don't see why you'd need more than the required amount.

Your employment history and the skills you've gained.

Reference is only needed AFTER you've done the interview, they will ask for the reference > reference checking being down after the interview > wait few days whether you got the job.

It means they don't want every single bit of information, only what's relevant.

Concise - nothing too colourful or you are just wasting words.

I was thinking

Name
Contact details
Highest level of education and/or current education
Top 3 recent/relevant past employment
List skills that you have obtained [just list relevant shit.. can even dot point]
List 2-3 references of past employment [company/name/position/contact details]

Brief and straight to the point.
List whatever you have done that's related to the new job if possible.. so they can read it and go uh-huh uh-huh she knows how to do this, able to do that, has experience here, etc.
