How much is too much?

I was recently advised to include "more" on my resume as I am starting to prepare for Director level roles. I have kept through most of my career to the rule of one page resumes so now it feels weird to put in everything. What are your thoughts?

For referece sample screen of my last role. Its very wordy right now, but that seems like a lot of bullets just for one job, thoughts?

2 pages is an acceptable length if you have a history of accomplishments that you can use to fill them in a concise manner. If you are really interested in feedback, though, you’d do better to start with a grammar checker and a re-write. There are at least 3 grammar and punctuation mistakes in your first paragraph alone. And your sub-bullets don’t require half the words. This is dense and tough to get through… I found I had to read most of the paragraphs more than once to understand what you meant.

I have a 2 page resume now. I think if you’re over 10 or so years of relevant experience the it’s time for 2 pages. Just keep it clean. You now have 2 pages so you don’t have to cram it all with 8 point font

I used a website called Zety for $29 that really helped with formatting and including all the high impact points without looking so crowded…definitely worth it…ha, it was actually a free 14 day trial and I forgot to cancel, that’s why I paid the $29

I lead a decent amount of supply chain recruiting, and (obviously many opinions on this) but I usually don’t recommend 2 page resumes unless you’re a phd and there’s a large emphasis on dissertations, papers published, etc. With how awesome some of your experiences sound (congrats by the way) I think you should be combining multiple experiences into one “role”. For example your recent role would be the first role listed with 3-4 bullets in scope and achievements. And then the role before that would be similar, but then maybe jobs 3-6 would be combined and the header would just be like: “Supply Chain Planning, Analytics, and Engineering” then you would have max 3 bullets for that. Then have LinkedIn have every role if you have a ton of roles. Feel free to DM!

Adding on to P1 comments about condensing bullet points; consider using percentages instead of durations or dollars. For example, " reduced planning horizon by 50% implementing XYZ"
