Resume length depends more on relevance than strict rules, but there are useful guidelines.
When One Page Is Best
- Freshers and early-career professionals (< 7–8 years).
- Candidates with focused experience in one domain.
When Two Pages Are Reasonable
- Senior roles, managers, and specialists.
- People with multiple relevant projects, publications, or complex experience.
Never Add Pages Just to Add Content
If you can’t justify the second page with relevant, well-written content, it’s better to stay on one.
