At what point do I start using 2 pages?
I have 8YOE and a MS. An internal recruiter and a headhunter said I should have 2pg. Should I list older projects? Listing ~15 projects, I have 1/6 pg left

The “rule” is supposed to be 1 page every 10 years. You might be on the cusp.

I had the exact same situation. 9yoe, some internal recruiters told me I should have 2nd page.
I have two copies ready and offer whichever one I think is more appropriate, and let them know I have a longer/shorter version if they prefer. Often they take both, and run with the detailed one.

We had a team touchbase where we as a group were asked our concerns regarding year end. I raised my concerns about staffing/expectations (the team is 75% new) since last year was demanding with us being up to 1 AM the day before deadline.

My director was on the call but not my VP. My VP reached out today and said he doesn’t appreciate hearing such comments on the grapevine but I was confused b/c all i did was answer the question I was asked.
