I have never heard of this "one page" rule. Maybe it's meant for those people who cram every detail and buzzword in their resume mistakenly thinking that if they chance on the right combination of words it will help them.
Mine is one and a half. I think it's more important that it's easy to read, if you're trying to fit everything into one page and it becomes dense or overly brief it defeats the purpose of the rule.
These rules are made up employment coaches (or whatever they're called) who need content to write about and want you to hire them for their consulting services.
A Resume is a crapshoot anyway, anyone can put anything they want in it - most of it is unverifiable until tested. As long as you have the required skillset, the important thing is that you don't act weird in the interview.
- paulcole 5y agoI hate seeing a 1.5 page resume more than I do a 2 page resume. If you’re going to take up a second page, use all of it. If you can’t do that, cut 1/2 of a page and get it all on 1 page. You’d be amazed at how many 1.125-1.25 page resumes I see.
- esnowrackley 5y agoI hope you haven't been one of my interviewers! :D
- sloaken 5y agoI disagree. A 1.5 would not bother me, a 1.125 or 1.25 would. At that point re do your format / font / margins / spacing SOMETHING to make it 1.5 or 1.
- DarrenDev 5y agoA 1.5 page resume sounds ideal to me. You have a big empty block of space on page two to write notes. What's not to like. - says a guy with a 1.5 page resume.
