Both my wife and I work at Fortune 50 corporations and work close with
HR on a daily basis and that's where my advice comes from.  Everyone
has their own style so I don't think there's any "one size fits all"
advice.  I'm just pointing out how I hire and how everyone I know
hires.

My wife has the real experience: she likes to job hop "exec" positions
and has a new one about every year to 18 months and she's in line with
what I wrote.  Further, part of her job is almost always exec
recruiting.  For a few months every year she will weekly bring home
100s of resumes which she sorts into "no" and "maybe" piles.

If you have 100 resumes to get through by morning which would you
prefer: 2 pages or 1?

A good CV to my eye looks like this:

* contact info
* objective
* work experience
* school
* special things (volunteer work, certs, industry groups, etc)

(maybe school last if you want to emphasize your experience)
