Resume Length

Does size matter when it comes to resume? Well, yes it does. You don't want your resume to be too wordy and you don't want it to be too brief. Here's the thing... If you have over 10 years of professional experience, then you can use up to 3 pages. In all other cases, try to get straight to the point and don't go over 2 pages. I would recommend to cut down on old experience that's more than 5 years old. If you are in the field that's very diverse in terms of your skills and experience, then build a skills-based resume which allows you to control the length of the resume by categorizing professional skills. Short resumes, on the other hand, portray your lack of experience. Please don't stress yourself out too much over the length of your resume! If you would like to keep it over 3 pages long, then organize it in the way that  will make an employer want to keep scrolling down. Keep it interesting and unique. Organization and quality of content is the key here. Good luck!
