» The Resume – One Page
or Two?
Last week we took a look at things to avoid when
creating your resume, but how many pages should your resume
be? This is quite a confusing proposition. We know that our
resume is often the only sales tool used in attempt to attract
a potential employer. The resume has now taken the place of
the initial interview, and only those with significant qualifications
and strong resumes are even invited to interview. Given that
employers screen resumes for between 2.5 and 20 seconds, a
resume must quickly capture the reader's interest and should
be 500-1000 words in length.
It is suggested that using a one page resume would be suited
to those with who have less than 10 years of experience. A
two-page resume may be the best bet for the vast majority of
job-seekers who are above entry-level but below the executive
level. Use a two-page resume if you have 10 or more years of
experience related to your goal and if your field requires
technical, medical or engineering skills, and you need space
to list and prove your technical knowledge.
Remember, keep your
resume lean and mean. Be concise and above all – accurate.
The more concise information you can provide the better. Employers
do not want to interpret
your resume, they want to read and understand in a short
amount of time.
Good luck!
