I did a recruitment for an entry level position earlier this year and about 70% of the resumes were more than a page long which irritated the everlovin' fuck out of me.

Your resume should be concise, if you can't fit it on one page you probably need to pare down your work experience/job duties section.

Overall, though (someone already said it), the most important thing is that it be copyedited. No spelling/grammar errors, consistent use of tense and tone, formatting (font face and size, spacing, etc). You'd be surprised how few people put any effort into this.

I got 175 resumes for this entry level position and my first cut was on copyediting issues alone.
