Is a 1-page resume old school? Now with AI crawling resumes I feel like I need to include every key term a recruiter / company would want, but my one-page resume looks cluttered, but I worry a 2-pager will be an issue.

You can see what others say, too, but I think it's okay to go with two pages, especially for creative roles. Especially if you feel like one page seems cluttered, I don't see how it would hurt to add another page.

I think 2 pages is pretty standard now from what I've seen. Like you said, they're sending all our resumes through AI scanners anyways so they aren't having to sift through hundreds of 2 page resumes on their own. I've been going with 2 pages, but if any recruiters here want to argue against that, I'd love to hear the argument.

You know what is funny, when I was in college for my undergrad we were told we needed a two-page resume was the standard. Then after I completed grad school we were told to stick one page. Then two years ago I tried finding a job with a one page resume but wasn't having any luck so I switch back to two pages and started landing interviews so I guess two pages is really the way to do.

Thanks to all who commented! All your responses make sense. I have 10 pages and trying to cram it al in one page with any depth has been hard. Going to try the 2-page approach and see where it gets me, thank you again!

GCA Questions Help

Hi everyone!
I've had 2 rounds of interviews at Google (UK) for a non-tech role in Platforms & Ecosystems (L4/L5). Recruiter told me that I've been selected for the final rounds (GCA + Leadership Interview). From his feedback, one thing they wanted me to improve on was the GCA Questions. Would anyone have any tips on how to prepare for these? I've checked some of Jeff Sipe videos online but would appreciate any support! I find GCA quite stressful...
Thx
Thanks in advance!

I got an offer at Meta as a 3-mo contingent CSM that pays 2x what I make now.

Two pros: 1) Making the jump from a non-tech agency role to FAANG can be tough, so this is a great oppo in that aspect.
2) I'm living in SF on a non-tech salary, so the pay increase would be incredible.

It’s possible I could move into a similar role @ Meta once this expires, but to be safe, I'd need to start the job hunt again asap.

Thoughts on the pivot & how valuable a short-stint at Meta is for future job hunt?
