Resume Question
in 9 to 5
Is it bad for a resume to be longer than 1 page or is that old protocol? I have to add to my resume, but all in the information that is currently on there is relevant to the types of jobs that I'm applying to. Thoughts?
Re: Resume Question
I don't think it would be a big deal. If it won't fit with 12 pt. font then just go to another page. If your font is too small and you have everything crammed into one hard to read page, I wouldn't want to look at it.
I think the one page advice is extremely outdated. As long as everything on your resume is clear, concise and relevant to the positions you're applying for, 2 pages is fine. I'd personally rather receive a 2-page resume in size 11 or 12 font than a 1-page resume in font so small I can barely read it.
The one exception to the above advice is if you're relatively early in your career (like first or second real job), you shouldn't go more than one page.
If you have enough experience and relevant information, over a page is fine. If you're putting your HS burger flipping job on there, start trimming.
DH and I each have over 10 years of experience and 2 page resumes.

This exactly.
I'm 26 and graduated with a B.A in English 2 years ago. The information that I have on there are my current jobs (I'm a freelance author, blogger, and a pharmacy technician) and my college experience. I did 2 internships that both pertain to the field in which for I'm applying. I've been a pharmacy technician for 9 months and freelancer for almost two years. On top of that, I have my computer experience (I would be using publishing software and I'm proficient in several categories of publishing software.
If you haven't already, put together a portfolio of your writing samples to bring with you to interviews. Start cutting down the info on your resume to get it to one page.
It's a healthcare magazine publisher. That's why I left it on there. Since it's the job I'm currently employed at and the knowledge that I gain from this position will help me at the publisher.
Portfolio is already done.
