Career Corner: Ask a Recruiter
How long should your resume be? It depends! Here are some guidelines based on your professional experience & seniority:
- If you have less than 10 years of experience, a 1-page resume is standard. However, it’s absolutely fine if your resume is 2 pages especially if you are in a more senior role and oversee a variety of job functions.
- If you are an executive, a 2-4 page resume is pretty standard (think about a School District Superintendent or nonprofit Chief Program Officer).
- As you think about length, it’s important to focus on telling a story of results vs. responsibilities on your resume. Ask yourself, does this resume bullet demonstrate how I added value, or does it tell the story of a job function anyone in my position would perform? Here’s an example of a result versus a responsibility: “raised $50,000 by writing 3 grants in 2 months to support the launch of an innovative community garden” vs. “researched and wrote grant proposals to local and national foundations.”
Do know that the average recruiter and hiring manager skim resumes quickly. Ensure each bullet/section concisely tells the story of how you’ve added unique value. That usually means getting specific on the goals you achieved (with numbers), initiatives led, awards won, skills leveraged, and any other ways you’ve distinguished yourself at work or in your community.
