I'm a 50+ staff eng, and I agree that I'm getting as much interest as ever from recruiters. Just gotta stay current and never take on the attitude I see from older engineers of "this new crap is just what we used to do back in the day". New stuff is different and has value, just accept it and stop whining. As for resumes, I personally don't get the page limit, since I love long resumes with detail when I'm evaluating engineers, but understand the marketplace absolutely hates them. I don't know if it is HR or auto pre-filters or the hiring managers, but it doesn't matter. All I know is that when looking for a job most recently, I had a 3+ page resume and was getting some, but not many, hits. Then, as an experiment, I trimmed it down to a single page, making it ridiculously thin in my judgement, ran it through the various sites that judge the resume based on keywords, and came up with a custom resume (lightly so) for each posting. I suddenly jumped up to a 75%+ call back rate. Keep your resume to 1 page, cut out the details on the old jobs unless it is really interesting, and basically just list the tech you know.
