Length of the Resume

There are not standard rules regarding the length of the resume, unless otherwise mentioned. Most US companies and many academic admissions insist on a 1-page resume.

It is the choice of your role and the content that goes into the resume that decides the length.

You might come across the resume of a two decade experienced professional's resume shorter than another with just a decade of work experience. The former might have worked only for a single company while the latter has five different assignments to talk about.

All said and done, success is when the resume wins us the interview. My advice - keep it short - let it be the summary of your life and not a biography.
