Is it better to have a resume that's one page or two pages?
492700
These days, with the online submissions and everything, length isn't as important.  Traditionally, back in the old paper days, entry-level and those with not much experience kept their resume to one page.  Those with quite a bit of experience and therefore much to write about would go for 2 pages.\n\nNow, if you have enough *substance* to go for 2 pages, that's fine.  If it's just fluff, then stay at a page.\n\nYou want to print out 2 separate sheets because many times employers will see the first page and think that is it, so they'll miss your second page if it's on the other side, especially if the paper is thick and you can't see through it.

Below are some sample resumes for your reference:\nhttp://www.resume-resource.com/samples.html\n\nIf you are willing to spend a little money:\nhttp://www.resume-templates.com\n\nHere are some guidelines:\n1. If you have less than 10 years of experience, you want your resume to be one page.\n2. Generally, clearly show your name, mailing address, email address if available, and best phone number(s) to contact you.\n3. Then show your education, work experience, any interests, achievements, and skill sets. Under your work experience, it is not a list of your job descriptions (this is a common mistake). You should instead indicate what you have accomplished and the results.  Use action verbs.\n4. If you are looking for your first job or intend to change job function / industry, you may want to state your objectives.\n5. You should customize your objective to fit the specific job.  A good idea is to look at the job description and show how your objective is a good fit for the job you are applying.  If you are applying for jobs at a company in general, customize your objective to the types of jobs you would be interested in for that company.\n6. There is no one “correct” format.  It depends on your profession and personal style.\n7. Also, try not to use technical words and jargons. Do not abbreviate.\n\nYou can post your resume at:\nhttp://www.monster.com\nhttp://www.careerbuilder.com\nhttp://hotjobs.yahoo.com\n\nI would also go to your bookstore and find a resume book in the business/career section. You can also find more examples and templates online if you do a search.\n\nGood luck and have a nice day.

The standard resume line is now "References furnished upon request" centered at the bottom of the resume (sometimes italicized).  Don't waste precious space putting down names and contact info that you would be better filling in with your experience.\n\nHave a second sheet with three or so references if it is requested.  Then you also know that the company will probably really be checking them and you can let the references know to expect a call or letter.  Make the reference sheet on the same resume paper with the same letterhead.

From my experience it seems like on-line resumes are quickly reviewed and hard copies are more likely to get you an interview. I think it has to do with the volume of resumes being handled. My last four job interviews were done with a good hard copy resume. Of course if you are highly educated it shouldn't make a difference. Personally I think personnel directors have had mixed results with on-line resumes only because they don't get to see the person they are hiring and they themselves may not be good understanding the person behind the print.

Keep resumes simple and concise.  Your resume should be one page in length if possible.  No less than 10 point font.  You can also tailor your resume to the jobs you're applying for.  So if you're applying for a manager position, you can just put related tasks for your past jobs such as "assisted in hiring", even if you only did that once in awhile.  Keep is simple.   The resume should be easy to scan and pick out key points.  Nobody wants to read two columns of information.  Good luck!

Avoid memo format. . . it's great for business, but this is a personal thing.  Highlight the times you enjoyed, the excellent experience you gained and the opportunities you relished.  You might consider mentioning that your decision to move on was a difficult one considering the quality of the management and the work environment.  Do not get mushy, but keep it personal and genuine.

resume writing can be tricky because not only is it important to be detailed when describing skills and work experience, but it is also advantageous to balance this with brevity. be concise and to the point while packing your resume full of key information that presents your strengths as a candidate for employment.<br />\nkeep it simple, and make sure that formatting doesn't take away from a neatly streamlined and cogent resume.<br />\nbelow is a link to hotjobs' resume tips, which i found extremely helpful in this process.

Here are some good resume examples.  You can decide which format works best for you AND see how other people use the various formats to highlight certain aspects of their background (education, work experience, accomplishments).\n\nThe format you use really depends on what you want to focus your resume on.

2 pages would be the max, but be careful, if you are "getting older" you don't want to plant that in the reviewer's mind either.  Some people have an age bias and even though it's illegal to discriminate in hiring, who's to say the resumes of those perceived to be over a certain age won't just get dumped before it ever reaches the interview stage?

Not really, it wouldn't look to professional.  Look at this link.  It's great for resumes.

I prefer a strictly chronological resume. You can add the relevant skills under each temp employer, but I like to know in what capacity and where these skills were put to use. The skills are much more meaningful when you can associate them with a particular job or assignment.

I would include it. It might make the difference in getting the interview to begin with. And you should bring one to the interview as well. Even though they have the copy you submitted with that application, it shows organization and a desire to get the position.

It is not a resume. It is an application. Applications contain more than one part to it. Some of it is just checking boxes and writing stuff in like "what is your GPA" and "What is your gender". But usually you need a Statement of Purpose (name varies from school to school) and recommendation letters. Statement of purpose should be about 1 or 2 pages.

If it's a personal page, you could have a biography, a photo album, a section dedicated to things you've written, a blog, external links to some of your favorite sites, information about your hobbies or beliefs...\n\nIf it's a more business-oriented page, try including a resumé, a biography, a listing of your accomplishments, samples of your work...
