Several of my friends are managers for just such a large firm and take a
similar approach to your company Keith.

One likes to see a CV no more than two sides of A4 in length, with the
qualifications summarised, bullet-point style. If you appear to have
what he wants then he and his technical experts ask for the details at
interview, usually a phone interview followed by a face-to-face one if
he likes you. I've sat in on a few interviews like this and it is
interesting to see some great CVs demolished and some modest ones
'upgraded'.
