Part of my severance package a few years back was a month at one of NYC's top career builder firms. They explained that resume styles change every few years and you need to be aware. The main thing they said was the one page rule only ever applies to entry-level positions, never professions.
This is for Exec's but I feel it is the same for a Tech: http://www.howtowritearesume.net/info/resume-types/executive-resume.aspx An executive resume is considerably different than any other type of resume in several distinct ways. The first is that it is generally longer. It is as well far more detailed. A good and thorough executive resume can run four or more pages in contrast to the standard non-managerial resume, which is suggested to be no longer than one page. http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1983949,00.asp Lose the one-page-only rule What happens when your skills and experience are extensive enough that they spill onto a second page? Don't be distressed, Turner said. "There's a myth out there that you need to keep your résumé down to one page, and it's just not true I wouldn't mind seeing two pages of really solid work history [that] will add more words to the ATS system. You don't need to tell us everything you did at every job, but it's good to have a solid history. Tell us more than 'Used C++ to create applications'tell us how you put it to work."
