[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I am a lawyer and the standard is one page. You've got to be pretty special to have a two-page resume. We kind of snicker at the 2 page ones.[/b] Maybe if you've got 20 years experience. But truthfully, I rarely read the bullets. I look at where you worked and how long you were there, and skim through the bullets.[/quote] +1 from another lawyer. TThe only times I've seen two-pagers done well were when the second page was a list of applicant's relevant publications, or detailed examples from applicant's 20 years experience in the relevant field. Notice in both cases the second page was relevant to the job: two pages to cover off-topic publications or broad experience just makes me think you can't edit. (I do read the bullets though, so please put something substantive in there.)[/quote] +1 from a lawyer[/quote]
