[quote=Anonymous]I have been in the workforce almost continuously for 35 years. I list the last 10 years of employment, plus any jobs that are directly relevant to the job I am applying for. Yes, my resume is 1.5 pages, that exceeds the recommended 1 page. But I have been told by most of the people that have called me for an interview that I have an impressive resume and in discussion they appreciate all of the relevant experience that my resume shows. I make each job as succinct as possible so only a short paragraph (2-4 lines) per job. And I highlight the aspects that make that job and experience applicable to the job. Yes, it means I sometimes tailor a resume to the particular job that I am applying for. If there are aspects that might take longer to recount than the short blurb, then I add info in the cover letter. [/quote]
