One page is often effective, but a two-page experienced-hire resume can be reasonable when it contains genuinely relevant evidence.

Clarity matters more than a rigid page count; an additional page should show increasing responsibility and results, not repeat every duty.

Someone with a decade of leadership roles may need room for quantified achievements, while an applicant with three years might not. A second page needs to earn its space with relevant achievements rather than a chronological catalogue.

Try a one-page version first, then add a second page only if it contains material achievements that a recruiter would miss otherwise. The consulting resume guide can help you prioritize accomplishment bullets over an exhaustive job history.

Mine is two pages, but the second is mostly older roles.

Cutting early-career bullets made it much easier to scan.

If the second page only lists duties from ten years ago, I would cut it.
