#1: They DO NOT read resume
So make it 1 page:
Use keywords, short, and simple. Bold fonts if needed for some section. Bullets are powerful.
Oh, and did I say that they do not read resume? Yup, they do not read resume.

keeping it to one page is impossible for me. i'd argue that the one page rule is not a rule or a best practice, if there is enough meat to justify it.
for newbs, stick to one page -- employers dont care about your retail jobs or clubs you participated in during school :rofl:

Consider a One-Page Resume If:
* You have less than 10 years of experience.
* You're pursuing a radical career change and your experience isn't relevant to your new goal.
* You've held one or two positions with one employer.
Consider a Two-Page Resume If:
* You have 10 or more years of experience related to your goal.
* Your field requires technical or engineering skills, and you need space to list and prove your technical knowledge.
* You have less than 10 years of experience.
* You're pursuing a radical career change and your experience isn't relevant to your new goal.
