How long is your resume? Mine is 2 pages long, but it’s not all related to sales and marketing. Does it matter how long it is since mainly AIs are reading them? Should I try to shorten it to one page aimed at the job I’m sending it to?

I would. You wanna grab people's attention as quick as possible, and remember that they'll only glance at your resume for 3 mins max. Don't include anything irrelevant and try to stick to the most important measures of your impact and skill on 1 page

Thanks!

Mine is only one page. This is the standard as far as I can tell. Even if AI is doing the initial scan, at a certain point, it's going to land in front of a real person. I'd try to condense it to one page if I was you.

I think it would be best to tighten it up and focus is on the parts of your career you want to showcase, which I assume would be the sales and marketing work. And I wouldn't assume that it's being read by AI tools. I think those tools are used to winnow people out, but at some point the viable resumes would be seen by a hiring manager.

Mine is two pages as well. I tried to keep it at one page but I feel like it doesn't really matter that much, and I want to get all the keywords I possibly can in there. Like you said, AI is reading it anyway, so who cares?

One page, no fluff. Especially if you’re targeting sales/marketing, get straight to the metrics and wins. Think: impact > history. AI will see it first, but then recruiters will get it and they only have seconds to go over so you want them to pay attention on the mostimportant part, nothing else.
