Personally I don't want to see a CV over 2 pages. I don't include references in that respect. Maybe theres a language difference here - I've never heard a CV called a resume in the UK, its just a CV - whether you are an academic or in the 'real world' as you so delightfully put it. I don't consider the two 'worlds' as requiring differing methods of submitting your skill set in order to gain a position. But what would I know, I've worked in both and I do the CV reading, interviewing and hiring....
