Am editing CVs. Have to narrow them all down to one page each to suit the bid's length limit.

And whilst editing, I see this:

"...visited Netherlands to appraise [company name]'s sister company's PMS and followed that with assisting in a full UKPMS compatibility assessment culminating in UKPMS registration..."

CAN I DIE? XD (PMS = pavement management system, apparently)

(btw, when people have 30+ years experience and qualifications longer than the full name of the UK, narrowing them down to one page is not easy)

oh it isn't that. Our company is bidding for a project with some county council, and in the bid's appendix we're giving the CVs of the key staff who we propose will work on the project. But because there's a page limit (and we don't want to bore them with pages and pages of CV anyway) we have to narrow down the CVs. ^^" For the sake of time and consistency of style, instead of asking those people to do it, I'm doing it for all of them ^^""""

That makes more sense!

And as someone who receives such tenders I always appreciate the effort people make to condense things properly!
