If you're a student, fresh graduate, applying for a junior role or you have less than 10 years of relevant experience, your resume should be only one page long.ย
If you're a seasoned professional, executive or the job requires 10+ years of relevant experience, your resume can be 2-3 pages long.
Don't overdo it. Hiring managers only spend about 6 seconds on most resumes. You need to leave a lasting impression fast. One page is almost always more than enough for that.
How can you make your resume shorter?
- Use a two-column template 
- Remove repetitions in your work descriptions 
- Only include relevant information 
- Use a smaller font size 
- Adjust the line height
