One Page Resume - Not so Fast

For the life of me, why do so many people think that they must produce resumes that are only one (1) page in length.  The argument for one page resumes held more water years ago but ever since Black Friday (Oct. '87), the work force has changed and people do not stay with one company for their entire careers.  Fact is, people change jobs constantly, especially with tech-related start-ups.

My rule of thumb - if you are compromising the integrity of the content and omitting vital information with your efforts to craft a one (1) page resume, STOP!.  It is perfectly OK to submit a two (2) page resume that has all the important achievements and responsibilities that you have earned / held.
