Past a certain length, long resumes don’t scream “accomplished,” they scream “no filter.” Most recruiters prefer something that feels curated: clear summary, recent roles with strong bullets, older roles compressed, and everything easy to skim in under 30 seconds.

Good question… I wonder how long is too long? Is 1 page the perfect length? Or having 2 pages acceptable?
Focus on impact over length. Highlight key achievements and leadership roles. Recruiters skim, so a concise, strong resume usually makes a bigger impression than every detail.
