How long should a resume be?

Some experts say 1 page, while some say 2 or 3 or more. Some say "it depends." Why the confusion? Things are changing. In the past, we used fax machines and paper. Like socks in a dryer, second pages could go missing. These days, we use email. Also, Applicant Tracking Systems make it easier to submit a two page resume, or longer. But that still doesn't mean we're in the wild, wild West, where resume length is up for grabs. You still need to impress the hiring manager fast. Plus, show enough achievements to prove your muscle. That's why resume length is such a struggle. This guide gives the answers to: • How long should a resume be? • How many pages should a resume be? • How far back should a resume go? • How to balance resume length against achievements. Here's a sample resume made using our resume builder. Want to save time and have your resume ready by Experts?
