What is the recommended length for a resume?

Answer 1

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!

Answer 2

There is no hard limit. Most resumes should be no more than 2 pages long. Advanced professionals usually have 3 page resumes or longer. The limiting factor is what the intended recipient wants to see. Your resume should include everything the reader wants to see and nothing else. It is also beneficial to make your resume a searchable PDF as many employers use software to scan for keywords in resumes.

Answer 3

One side of an A4 page, or two pages at the most. If the resume it too long or difficult to read, it may be put to one side. Also, make sure there are no spelling mistakes. There are many websites that can provide you with advice - it is important that you get it right.

3/4 or 1 pt. Better less than too much :) Remember that the boarder is not what recruiter is looking for but the body of your resume.
