I think they mean 'two ways of presenting yourself', or 'two different base resumes to customize for each role'.

  Not the GP, but I think they meant - "go beyond two, and create one for each occasion" (i.e., many more than 2). I agree wholeheartedly with that approach. You're more likely to be successful if you tailor your story and experience to each opportunity, particularly if you have 20+ years of experience. Specifically, OP mention about applying to a "Senior engineer" and "VP of engineering". Depending on the size of the company, these are very different roles. A killer profile for one could be terrible fit for the other, and vice-versa.

    GGP is advocating separate mindsets, and for organizing them on paper as two separate 'resumes'. This is before you customize your submission for each job.

    Right, but those resumes should fall into two distinct clusters.
