How many pages is your resume?
13.December, 2009
I have been under the impression that a one page resume is most preferred and that a multi-page resume is frowned upon. Is this true? I am currently editing my resume. I squeezed everything in to one page but the font is small… I’m not sure whether that is why I haven’t been receiving any response but I am currently thinking of redoing the entire layout and making the font size to 12. It will result in not being able to put every applicable job on my resume.
Is this the way to go?
The maximum pages of a resume should be 2 and no more. It’ll just cause stress for the Manager to have to look through a pile of resumes and find each page.
The advantage for more pages in a resume is that you have more information about yourself, perhaps more qualifications and experience as to why it is longer. Disadvantages however is that if the manager is willing to hire you and she/he cannot find the other half of your resume, you’ve lost a chance there.
There is and always will be advantages and disadvantages of a resume, and you just have to make the right decision! My suggestion though if this helps, is to put your top 3 best job experiences you know will give a good reference or the top 3 jobs that relate to the sector you are applying for. You don’t have to give a whole list.
