That's a good point. I think it's a combination of (1) My friends in tech are, on aggregate, about 3-5 years older than me and (2) There's still the (probably misguided) advice floating around of "You should write down every language and framework you know so that your resume shows up in a keyword search!"
Your advice makes a lot of sense, I'll keep to one page. My feeling is that North American HR people generally expect one page resumes.
- ModernMech 12y agoYour reply made me think of another issue. There is no such thing as "your resume". It's not a single document that you write once and send out to everyone. If you are applying for 100 positions, than you should write 100 resumes. Most people write a general resume which has everything on there they've ever done (which is why they need two pages), but a resume targeted to a specific position at a specific company can be much shorter.
- Kortaggio 12y agoI will be customizing my resume for each company, but I'm thinking about a general version that I post on my website where I don't know who is going to download it a priori.
