My resume is just a look in my eye
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
Two pages are perfect.
2 pages
One page
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?
One page is perfect.
1 Page. Short n sweet and to the point.
