Talk about urban myths…
Simply put, there are no hard-fast rules about resume length. Most of the resumes I write are two pages. For someone graduating from college, with just a few years of experience or a simple background, one page may be enough. On the flip side, on rare occasions, I have written three pages for senior executives. Do not let anyone tell you all resumes have to be one page. The purpose of a resume is to market your strengths and value to a future employer. At a certain point in most people’s careers, it’s hard to contain that to one page.
