Default Re: Quick Question - Resumes

1 page only. I throw away resumes longer than 1 page.
Tailor your resume to the type of job you want. Meaning, if you want to work in a hospital, only list 3 jobs and make sure the bulleted details under each support the type of environment you'd like to enter: for hospitals - I dunno - talk about juggling multiple tasks and your dedication to long hours?

Keep it concise and use each job to slam a point home about why you need the job you are applying for. Don't just make a generic catch all "this is the long extended boring fucking story of my life" resume because some asshole like me will just throw it away. You don't need that, keep it short and smart.

Honestly 3/4 a page is ideal. And always have a cover sheet that sets up your resume. There are tons of templates online. I suggest you do your homework first before your cheese is left in the wind.
