How long can a resume be?

Written on June 28, 2012 by Ana Herranz in Others

At the CMC we always stress to our students that they have to keep their resume´s length at a maximum of 2 pages, ideally 1.

The recruiter is not willing to spend 10 min going through your resume and that might be the first reason you are providing him for it to end in the dustbin in the first screening.

Moreover, a long resume would be telling that you are not capable of synthesize, communicate properly and be focused and concise; which I guess is not the message you want to convey.

To read more about this subject, I want to share with all of you a post by Pete Leibman, founder of Dream Job Academy.
