There is nothing wrong with a resume that is more than one page, especially for someone with years of experience.

There is nothing wrong with a resume that is more than one page, especially for someone with years of experience.

I give you my opinion, but that’s just my personal point of view:

I am manager of my own company. When I receive candidacy with a resume, I am interested to read only what I am interesting in. Understand in my words that if I am looking for a web designer that have knowledge on CSS and HTML, I almost don’t care to read a full page of JAVA programming experience, just because that’s not what I want to find. And having 2 pages of things that don’t interest me don’t make me feel like “Whaooouuu this guy is real perfect !”. I can tell you that this make me feel the opposite effect, I feel more like “Pffffffff… too much experience, he will want a crazy salary or he is cheating with his experience…”

So, be specific in your resume, put in first the job areas what you really want to find, and at second plan with a few lines the other experience stuff that you have done.

Also, managers, like me, don’t have time, and then, go to the essential, don’t force people to read long and boring things otherwise your resume will be thrown directly in a bin…

Then you can conclude about that: Send personalized resume and letters for your job finding, because the boss of companies that will read this want to find in your resume what they are looking for.
