I have read articles and blogs that have indicated a one page resume is what you need. If it is anything longer you will not be considered, but this is not what I am finding out. I am a Senior Analyst / Developer and have asked this question to placement agency and in user groups. What I am hearing is that my resume is fine being 5 to 6 pages in length. The only change that I have done in the last couple of years is one remove the objective paragraph. Everyone is looking for a job. Two place a paragraph at the top of page one indicating my work ethic and strengths that I can offer a company and three I then added a table with 3 columns listing my skill sets. Using this format I have found jobs even through the dot com bust of 2000. I believe page one of your resume should sell you within the first couple of sentences and once you peak the interest of the employer then the next 4 or 5 pages will tell them if you are the person they want. A one page resume is not enough and a company who is only looking at a one page resume is going to waste you and their time talking to candidates that are not right for the position being filled.
