Consider a Two-Page Resume If: * You have 10 or more years of experience related to your goal. * Your field requires technical or engineering skills, and you need space to list and prove your technical knowledge. Put the most important information at the top of the first page. Lead your resume with a career summary so your key credentials appear at the forefront of the resume. On the second page, include a page number and include your name and contact information. Consider a Three-Page Resume or Longer If: * You're a senior-level manager or executive with a long track record of leadership accomplishments. * You are in an academic or scientific field with an extensive list of publications, speaking engagements, professional courses, licenses or patents.
