How long is everyone's resume? I keep getting told that a two page resume is too long but who can get a 12 year career down to just one page?

1 page that highlights the most recent 5 to 7 years.

Second page with titles of roles & companies older than that, education, skills, and other details that might catch someone’s eye

It's possible to cut your resume down. Look at the formatting. Are you using up valuable space with columns on the left and right? You don't need to have detailed experience back 12 years. Really what you did 12 years ago doesn't matter. What I'll say overall is that you maybe trying to say too much if you really can't cut your resume down. Are you focusing on what you do really well and what you want to do or are you adding every little thing to your resume?

I’ve been approached my by company that one of our large clients (who im currently project managing for) is looking for a consultant of sorts, and if they hire us, I’d be the first person asked to take on this consultant role. This isn’t something my company typically offers and would greatly change the scope of my role. Has anyone ever taken on a role like this? If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?
