Need to get out of this job.

Have 12 years of experience across consulting and industry. Should resume be 1 or 2 pages?

I could do 1 page if selected work / engagements most applicable for role, but would need 2 to show full breadth of carreer.

Google is giving mixed answers.

Really don’t worry about it. Make it 2 if it needs to be 2, but just don’t fill it with fluff to get 2.

1 page

1 page. If you can’t make it clear in 1 pg, the seconds is not gonna do the trick. Pretty much regardless of level- exception for highly technical roles.

1 pg
3 bullets per experience
Remove internships etc
Add profile summary at top (3 key bullet points - change per application)

1 page. On one hand, in most cases the job you held 12 years ago isn't relevant to the job you're looking for today. On the other, depending on the job you're applying for and your age, this can actually be held against you-i.e., you're too old.

You're getting mixed answers because it depends on who you are, what your history is, what the job your applying for is, the company culture, your age, etc. You're applying to be CFO, sure, 2 pages. Academia, sure multiple pages. Youre counting the job you had when you were 18? Most cases, no one cares.

It can be 2 pages but that should include employment up to 10yrs of related work history. Just make sure the first page is the best and has all the critical info

One and done.

See you at the interview

Question about remote job negotiations

I'm currently interviewing for a remote role for a company based in NY.

The thing is I'm based in a different city (southern U.S.)

My question is:

When it comes time to talk compensation, should I base the market rate for the role on my city of residence or NY?

Would it make sense to ask them directly how they determine comp for NY-bases vs. other city-based employees?

Anyone have experience with this?

Crowe is hiring for quite a few positions across the US (Internal Audit, IT controls and cyber/digital security, Compliance,etc)… I’m a manager and would think some of these niche areas have great opportunity for new folks to excel rather quickly. Great flexibility and mobility policies. I’d be happy to chat if interested and get you directly in touch with the right people internally.
