Post What makes a good CV
A good CV should be:

-Targeted to the job you're applying for.

-Simple, clear and concise - using no more than 2 easy to read fonts on plain white paper
short - 2 sides of A4 paper (possibly with an extra sheet for research publications if you have done a PhD). The CV shouldn't be bound.

-For design jobs, the CV could be creatively presented to showcase your work
free from spelling, grammatical and typing errors - give it to someone else to check
accompanied by a covering letter. The CV and covering letter should be in the same font, layout and on the same paper.

Follow these few steps to dramatically improve the quality of your CV:

Keep it simple, uncluttered and in an easy-to-read font (on plain white A4 paper).
Keep it free from unnecessary details (e.g.: don't write lines upon lines for your interests!)
Keep it free from spelling/grammatical errors - maybe ask someone to proof read it.
Check your personal details - sound obvious but it does happen (wrong phone number etc).
If you have a job spec - match your CV to this to ensure you have included relevant skills.
Believe it or not - there is no perfect CV. Just concentrate on making use of the kind of CV design that suits you best - chronological, functional or a combination of the two.

Relevancy makes a good CV. Make it relevant to what you're applying to, I see far too many that list every job they ever had even if they've no relevance to the role they're after. If I'm reading a CV the first thing I'm looking at is employment history for relevant experience, if it's not easy to see you're heading for the discard pile.

Also you'd be surprised how many people can't even be bothered to check they've spelled things correctly, poor spelling/grammar puts people off instantly. CV writing service
