The One-Page Resume Myth: When It's Okay to Go Longer
Experience Matters
If you have < 5 years of experience, stick to one page. If you have 10+, two pages is standard and often expected.
Don't Cram
A readable two-page resume is better than a one-page resume with size 8 font and 0.2 inch margins. White space is your friend.
Relevance is King
Go to two pages if the content is relevant. If you're fluffing it up just to fill space, cut it back to one.
