Oh, probably only if I have to when new customers ask for it.
Nothing really changes in it so I have not done anything with it for the past 8 years

Quite rarely, actually - I tend to have other more pressing things to do.

Since my business brochures (CV) only reflect a summary of my projects, there's hardly any need for updates.

As I have said before (this same question has been asked at least 3 times: 2008, 2011 and 2012): only when there is something to change...

My CV updates like my yearly social security report. After a brief period of shifting employments, it just goes on adding freelance days.
I suppose you reach a point when you no longer care to impress. Take it or leave it, I'll update when I have the time... or when a special project comes along.

| I don't, I'm not looking for employment | Nov 6, 2014 |
I run an independent business and am not planning to seek employment any time soon, so I have no need for a CV. I update my website regularly, though, and that is where I direct any potential clients who can find all relevant information about me there...

Don't have one. Never really needed one. The only times I've had to submit a cv has been for jobs that never materialised.

Same here. Voted "other" because it was not possible to mark "never".
I am a service provider since almost thirty years.
The last time I updated my cv was years ago, but this was for a long and outstanding client who needed it for an EU-application which never materialized.
So I just have a small business flyer indicating languages and specializations.

In memoriam
I don't see how I could update my CV after 41 years of experience.

| When I obtain a new credential | Nov 7, 2014 |
I imagine CV as a "bite" to catch a fish and will continue to update when I obtain a new credential.
