I get a lot of questions about how long a résumé should be. And while I have my own opinion on this (generally, 1 page if you’ve been working 10 years or less; otherwise, 2 pages max…with exceptions as everyone’s work history is different), the main focus needs to be on your content, not the length.
And when it comes to content, relevancy is the only word you should be thinking about.
Whether you’re applying for a similar role, a step up, or a completely different role, you want your past and current achievements and accomplishments to align in the direction you want to go (the role you want).
This way, whomever is reading your résumé will be easily able to connect the dots and you will increase your chances of securing an interview.
