When most of us got out of school, we were told in no uncertain terms to 'keep the résumé to one page' at all costs. While that may have been the case in the '80s and '90s, brief résumés are simply no longer effective in today's increasingly competitive job market. Companies that once insisted on short résumés to be followed up by a "first-step" interview to get more information cannot now afford such a lengthy, time-consuming process. The days of going to a "cattle call" with dozens and dozens of candidates for only a couple of openings are gone. Up-to-date career professionals know that the résumé has now taken the place of the initial interview, and only those with significant qualifications and strong résumés are even invited to interview. As a result, more, not less, information is now needed on the résumé, and the past insistence on short résumés has now given way to more the in-depth, two-page résumés for most mid-level and professional positions. True, it does take an additional minute or less to for an HR professional to review the second page of a résumé… but that extra minute is seen as far more helpful than scheduling a questionable candidate for a personal interview. Applicants submitting résumés which don't state detailed qualifications, specific accomplishments, skills, and abilities in an easy-to-read, professional format, are now being routinely passed over for consideration.
