As usual that depends. My recent run through the job market did not mention needing a 1 page resume. Mine was almost 2 full pages, but at a reasonable font size. I expected my years of experience to warrant the need for the second page to cover my skill set. Not to mention the need to make it buzzword compliant.
http://www.provenresumes.com/fqa/resleng.html Second paragraph agrees with what I am saying. It isn't a bad idea to know the intended recipient of the resume and tailor it to the recipient. If they ignore 2 page resumes, find a way to trim to the 1 page without losing the meat of the skill set. Many jobs want only 5 years experience, so if you have to trim the work history to increase font size and put more relevant information in a grid, do it. ----- "John F.
