How Long Should Your Resume Be?

Resume Length

How long should your resume be? “One page” is always the standard answer that job candidates hear. “Maybe two if you’ve done a lot.”

The Journal of Accountancy has some some answers about resume length based on what HR, finance, and marketing leaders prefer. The answer: It depends. One, two, or three pages can work. The trick, though, is to use whatever space you chose to tell your story. Make every word count, even while you’re counting pages.
