How many two page resumes do you get? I'm in college, and I've never seen one of my peers take a two page resume to the career fairs.

- benmccann 16y agoI've read TONS of two page resumes. I've noticed that headhunters seem to encourage them. However, I'm not going to spend more than a few seconds looking at any given resume, so with multiple pages the chance that I'm going to see what you want me to see is far lower than if it were condensed down.
- freiheit 16y agoReally hard to fit years of relevant experience on a single page; you'll see a lot of two page resumes from people with more than a few years of experience. Of course college students don't have two page resumes, they don't yet have enough material that actually needs to be on a resume: they typically have a skills section, an education section, one or two short-term relevant jobs, and maybe enough fluff to fill the rest of the page.
- rb2k_ 16y agoIn Germany, Résumés aren't necessarily limited to a a page. Two pages is considered fine too. Three pages is where it starts to be a problem :) Somehow related: The european union standardized a format for a CV: https://europass.cedefop.europa.eu/europass/home/vernav/Europass+Documents/Europass+CV.csp?loc=en_GB https://europass.cedefop.europa.eu/europass/home/vernav/Euro... (Which is a horrible idea imho, but still...)
