Brand new to the industry or looking for your second job in it? Yes, one page. I would never expect someone with 10+ years of experience to have a one-pager, though, unless they have literally held only one job in that time - which is itself a red flag. The one page advice stems from a time when people worked just one or two different jobs in a 40-50 year career. Yes, you can omit details about things you did a dozen years ago. No, there's never any reason for a 12-page resume. Yes, you want the recruiter/hiring manager to be able to evaluate your resume quickly. But 2-3 pages is sometimes necessary to convey sufficient information about an established career.
