Resume length?
If you have degrees above a Bachelor’s, add your extra years of education to your YOE. What do you think is appropriate? Where would you stop caring as a recruiter / hiring manager? Do volunteer experience or small side projects belong?
1 page always even with a lot of experience. The less detail you put the more you can talk about it in an interview.
Whatever is on your resume is fair game for discussion. Summarize it into one page and be prepared to Ace any question regarding any info on it. Curious - are you applying cold or through someone you know?
Exactly. Less that's on there the less ammo they have for deep dive into specifics.
One page is the best. When see a resume on 3 pages I don’t even bother to read. Usually it’s bullshit.
No more than 2 pages ever. At least ~7 yoe until you should need two pages
More experience, less pages ;)
By this math I have 23 YOE so my resume is just a url to my LinkedIn account
I can barely fill up 1 page on my resume 🤗. YOE 1
My resume is 5+ pages, I don't give a crap about whoever says the resume should a Max of X long, it is as long as it should be
Before you ask 15 YoE
What if you have lots of publications?
highly cited/popular or recent publication, sure. an old publication no one cared about, who cares?
My resume is 3 pages and I have no problem getting interviews. But It is important to add a summary to the first page, most people do not read the 2nd and 3rd page.
1 page always, remove the unimportant or old stuff imo.
That was my opinion but several coworkers are fine with 2 page resumes.
unless you're Jeff Dean, you really don't have enough recent accomplishments (less than 7-8 years) to fill 2 pages at a high level. 2nd page just adds noise and makes it seem like you're trying hard. people usually don't look at it more than 20-30 seconds at most.
