How many pages should a resumé be?
How many pages should a resumé be?
A resumé should ideally be one to two pages long. For most professionals, one page is sufficient to showcase key skills, experiences, and accomplishments. However, if you have extensive experience or need to include more relevant details, a two-page resumé is acceptable. Remember to keep the content concise and focused on what is most relevant to the job you are applying for.
How far back should a resumé go?
How far back should a resumé go?
A resumé should generally include your work history for the past 10 to 15 years. For jobs in IT, the focus is on more recent years. This timeframe ensures that the information is relevant and up-to-date, reflecting your most recent and significant career achievements. For positions held earlier in your career, you can summarise the experience briefly or omit it if it is not directly relevant to the job you are applying for.
