What Recruiters Actually Think About Resume Length
Is your resume too long—or are you leaving out valuable information because you're trying too hard to keep it to one page? In this episode of the JumpStart Your Career Coaching Podcast , we're talking about one of the most common resume questions job seekers ask: How long should my resume actually be? We’ll discuss why resume length isn't simply about following a one-page or two-page rule. What matters is whether your resume quickly communicates your experience, accomplishments, skills, and value while remaining relevant and easy to read. In this episode, we cover: 📄 When a one-page resume may be appropriate 📑 When a two-page resume makes more sense 🚫 Why adding unnecessary information can hurt your resume ✂️ What to consider removing from an overly long resume 🎯 Why relevance matters more than simply counting pages 💼 How experience level can influence resume length 🤖 Creating a resume that's both ATS-friendly and recruiter-friendly 👀 Making your most important qualifications easy to find Your resume doesn't need to tell your entire life story.
