How long should my resume be?

The industry standard is one page for every 10 years of experience. For entry-level and mid-level professionals, a strictly one-page resume is recommended. It forces you to prioritize impactful bullet points over generic task descriptions.

If you have more than 10 years of relevant experience, a two-page resume is acceptable, but only if the second page contains equally high-quality accomplishments. For the vast majority of roles, brevity is your friend, as it allows a recruiter to see your career highlights at a glance.
