The days of the one-page resume are dead, IMO. With the way people bounce from job-to-job so easily today (myself included), you may have a lot of different jobs to put down. Though your time with a company may be short, the experience you've earned may be no less significant than a job you held for 5 years. I've had 10 jobs total, and 8 of them are worthy enough to me to put on a resume...my resume now checks in at just under 2 pages. If I tried to put my resume on one page, it would only cover the past year of work I've done, which simply doesn't represent all that I can offer an employer.
Resume length depends on the person, it seems. I've had a couple of HR reps tell me that more than one page is great. And I've heard others warn of going past one page. If folks don't like my resume, they can toss it out. As far as I'm concerned, it looks sharp, it's to the point, and it represents a great deal of experience. You don't like it? *shrugs* My feelings won't be hurt.
The thing that seems to be hurting me right now in the social work field is that many places stipulate that you must own a car and have a drivers license. I have both, but I'm not about to sacrifice my little car driving it all over town. Maybe if I had a nice new car, I might consider it. But until then...
