I currently work in academia in Japan, and have become accustomed to academic CVs that are quite long (6+ pages) listing all of one's education, work experiences (including courses taught), publications, conference presentations, honours/awards, academic services.

But I recently read that CVs in my home country (NZ), are meant to be only 1-2 pages. As I eye up moving back, I wonder how people condense their CVs down? Or is it okay for academics (who need to list their publications etc as evidence of their exoerience/achievements) to be longer than what is often expected?

I would love to hear your experiences with CV lengths in any academic/non-academic context. Thanks for your help in advance!
