Don’t know about other geos, but if you’re in Canada or the US, unequivocally 1 page. You can get more than 10 years of experience into 1 page, and many get 20 years of experience onto 1.

You should be able to show it in one. If you take 2 make darn sure every single item is necessary.

5 yrs of consulting can definitely be summarized in one page. Id strongly advise sticking to one.

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago. An agency recruiter is trying to convince me to move into a GSVP account role, assuring me "at that level it's all strategy." (I dont think she understands the words she's using. Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?
