Wondering what your thoughts are on number of pages for a resume?
I think forcing yourself to keep to one page has the same benefit as your comment on two columns - limiting space holds you accountable for only listing the important things.
I would 100% agree! Personally, when I get a multi-page resume my heart drops a little because usually what is important on the resume could have fit on one page and saved me a lot of time of having to figure out what is important and what is not.
Ok, but what about people transferring into coding who actually have two pages worth of jobs? Should these people filter out "non-relavent" older jobs to fit the imaginary one page limit? I think one page is fine if you graduated in 2018, but should it be a mold?
I have to admit I am a little disheartened by your statement, ...your heart drops when you see 2 pagers. Some ppl are proud of their career path no matter its diversity. I thought in this multi-cultural multi-viewpoint time diversity was beneficial.
Instead I seem to be hearing one size Should fit all. I have to say I am more than disappointed by this viewpoint. Should we not be striving for inclusivity? I wonder if you confusing resume "stuffing" versus longevity.
At some point I feel like what you're describing as longevity becomes resume stuffing.
Think of a resume as an advertisement. Would you be more likely to buy something from an ad that says "this product solves this problem" or from an ad that makes you dig through paragraphs of information to figure out what the product is supposed to do?

I believe you missed my point.
