#1 Unless you are a 55 year old Doctor of Medicine, who is also a Professor of Medicine, and a Department head at a major hospital, your resume shouldn't be two pages long.
Brief and concise, with no fluff.
#2 This is actually now untrue. After a lot of research and talking to professionals, it is acceptable for any job seeker to have 2 pages. Of course, as always, it should be done in a very professional way. I have also found that employers are looking for your last 10 years of work or less; it would be hard to put that on one page.
If you can fit it onto one page then great! But if not, don't fret-just make sure it is meaningful.
And I agree, NO FLUFF!
1 word long hope it helped
In most cases, a professional resume or CV should not exceed 1 page in length. However, depending on the particular job you are applying for, it may be appropriate for the number of pages to increase to 2. Your resume should not exceed this length. If you have had a great deal of relevant experience worth mentioning, or a very long career to note, this would merit a more thorough and detailed business resume and therefore, a longer CV.
No, page numbers are not necessary on a resume. It is recommended to keep your resume to one page, so including page numbers is not required. Cover letters and reference lists can be on separate pages and may benefit from page numbers if they are more than one page.
At the bottom of the page, on the lower right hand side, put your last name, hyphen, page number. For instance: McCarthy - 1 of 2 and then on the second page: McCarthy - 2 of 2 At least that was how I was taught to do it.
If you are submitting a resume in paper format, it will generally be done at the point of the interview. If you have a 2-page resume, it is best to staple the document in the left hand corner to ensure that the pages remain together. You should also have your name and contact information at the top of the second page.
It is three full pages long.
57 pages
Use wide margins, so that the actual resume stands out clearly. I'm being delibeartely vague about the precise width as it's not worth ending up with an extra sheet with only one or two lines on it. You may need to juggle around till you get your resume in apple-pie order. Good luck!
6 pages? bahahaha.
The USCA.edu resume tips page linked to the right says, "Don't staple your resume (if more than one page) or staple your cover letter to the resume."AnswerNEVER STAPLE UNLESS SPECIFICALLY ASKED TO DO SO! The reason you should never staple your resume is that is not professional. Multiple papers get stapled by teachers so kiddies don't loose em'. Plus, it's hard to forward copies to any other people in the hiring process if you have to separate the pages to copy them- which most do by pulling them apart, thus ripping your resume, and causing a jam with the top loading document feeder on most copy machines.
Some of the tips on creating a great resume is to first of all write down all of your job history and put it into outline form. Next, you need to make your resume to 1 page no more than 2 pages.
It should be one page front and back, or two pages but only on one side each.
