Does Two-Page Resume Mean a Good Candidate?
Does Two-Page Resume Mean a Good Candidate?If you're wondering whether it's OK to have two pages of information on your resume, the answer is 'no'. In fact, if you're expecting to get an interview and you have two pages to go through, that's a huge red flag. As a result, you'll probably want to skip the two page resume option completely.But even if you do have two pages, it's very important to make sure that they're well-organized. You've got to use the information you have in the least amount of words possible and as clearly as possible.But what if you have more than one thing to say? Well, that depends on what the job requires. If it's a position that requires more than one letter of recommendation, then you'll need to tell them one thing at a time.On the other hand, if it's just one letter of recommendation, then you may be able to tell them everything in one paragraph. However, if you're going to be telling them the same thing in more than one place, then there's no need to have separate paragraphs. You can just use one paragraph to give them the basic information about you.So once you know that you only need one letter of recommendation, all you have to do is look up what your employer wants. It's usually a short paragraph with one or two sentences on you and why they need you. Also, you don't want to tell them exactly how many letters you've written for other people.The reason for this is that you want to make sure that the information they need is clearly presented in one place. Of course, it's important to be honest, but to be honest in the most truthful way possible.A two page resume isn't really a requirement, but having more than one and telling them one thing at a time is the best way to be honest. Even if they don't hire you, at least you have one resume to give them.
