CV Advice

I was updating my CV just now and I'm not sure about a few things:

1) Is it ok to include my citizenship status on my CV? I know that you don't want to include personal information, however I'm assuming this particular bit of info is ok as it shows I'm able to work in the UK without a visa? Well, for now.

2) When listing previous work experience, should I add the location as 'city. state, country' or just 'city, country'?

3) Should I add the address where I will be staying in the UK or add my current address? I'm a bit conflicted about this, I'm afraid my CV won't even be looked at if I don't add a local address but I don't want to lie about my current whereabouts.

Yes I would include your status that shows you can legally work on arrival in the UK. I would specifically spell it out as in , 'as a citizen of X or holder of a Y type visa, I am legally able to work in the UK immediately upon arrival'.

2. City and country should be enough. Even if someone doesn't know where Baton Rouge (or wherever) is,

3. As you plan to send CVs before arrival then I would include both addresses along with your intended arrival date.

Current contact information:

There is no need to lie about anything. All an employer wants to know BEFORE reading the rest of your CV (so put this stuff at the beginning) is can you legally work and when will you be available to do so.
