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!
