“Your resume should never be longer than one page, regardless of experience”
Agree
- Hiring managers spend 10 seconds per resume max
- If you can't be concise you can't communicate
- Quality of experience matters more than quantity
- Multiple pages scream 'I can't prioritize information'
Disagree
- Senior professionals have decades of relevant experience
- Academic and technical fields require detailed CVs
- Arbitrary page limits are outdated boomer rules
- Context matters more than rigid formatting rules
