Resume Writer Matthew GreeneResume Package Options ENTRY-LEVEL + up to 7 years' work experience: In most cases, a one-page resume is needed, plus a cover letter. However, superior candidates or those with an impressive track record may require a longer resume. This will often produce better results for them.
After a number of years in the workforce, you may have "outgrown" a one-pager and need a longer resume —not because you can no longer get it all down on one page. A two-page resume is constructed differently. It is cleverly designed to present your career and accomplishments in the most impressive manner. If you have had supervisory or managerial responsibilities, a two-page presentation is essential. It often helps to advance your career.
If you have had considerable experience at management or executive level, plus accomplishments in each position, your resume may be 3 pages in length or even longer! NOTE: How long should your resume be? What layout should you use? Let Matthew Greene's experience guide you. Matthew's proven recipes for success are your best answer to the myths and half-truths you'll hear about these subjects. You see, free advice that begins with "They say that..." is often dead wrong! Matthew Greene's book, Winning Resumes (Penguin) tells you who needs a longer resume, when and why. (See Chapter 10, "When a Two-Page Resume Works Better".
