The truth is, there is no magic formula for "the perfect CV" - a CV should, if possible, be written with a specific job in mind, emphasising the points relevant to the position being applied for, and toning down non-relevant parts with regard to that particular job or function.
KH is quite right to say that details such as marital status, number of children, etc are relevant in this part of the world. When considering candidates here, companies look at the overall cost, which usually includes medical insurance, annual flights, educational assistance, etc.
As regards not telling lies on your CV .... .... everyone does,and professional recruiters know it. There is, however, a difference between stretching the truth and outright lies. The trick is to know enough about the "white lies" to get through the interview.
In the end, it's a game. Professional management and HR people with many years of experience can spot a fake a mile off. If they can't, then they shouldn't be in the job and deserve whatever tossers they end up with.
