How Long Should Your Resume Be?

Posted on Monday, June 11, 2007 by Frank Roche

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.
