How many times have you heard – “Your resume should be no longer than one page.”

Once upon a time, a story was circulated that made job seekers squeeze their relevant experience, skills, and education on to just one page.

This myth, although true in some instances, is not as strict and rigid as it once was.

When to exceed one page:

  • Your experience genuinely needs the space
  • There is a job gap or responsibility that requires a lengthy explanation
  • You’re just too skilled not to jump to another page

Of course, use your discretion when jumping to page two. Some companies can look down upon unnecessary information dragging along.

Are you afraid to expand on your experience because this myth has constrained you? Ask us!
