Dear HR,

I am an experienced Executive Assistant and Sales Support. Both positions required skills in a lot of areas, therefore my resume for the last 10 ten years is two-pages. Is that a major fault?

Sincerely,

Ten Year Professional

Dear Ten Year Professional,

I am not sure where the adage came from that a resume must be one page because everyone’s experience level is different and it may not be able to be  “squeezed” into one page. I would recommend that if you need two pages then use two pages, but keep in mind that you do not need to list every job you ever had, I think the last 10- 15 years of experience is sufficient .
