I heard from a career coach that the resume can be longer now, that the old one page and two page limits were a thing 10yrs ago but nothing anymore.

No. 1 page. Being concise and highlighting the most critical / pertinent experience is a skill in itself

The only scenario for 2 pages I can see is MAYBE if you’re a senior partner but at that point, who is reading your resume?

You can do two. But it needs to be a full two

Interesting. Internal BcG career coaches say 2 pages - so looks like I’ve got to have both versions. Wish there was some kind of standard.

Is this bifurcated by industry?

Tech - 1 page
All others - 2 pages ok?

Why would you need two ? At your level , wouldn’t most of your interviews come in through alum referrals and the resume is just mire off a prop in the process ? Genuinely curious about this

I used two pager and just got a job with AWS

I’ve had decent luck with 2 pages, but I’ve got 17+ YOE and a couple industry changes.

So I’m engaged in an interview process for a top FinTech company. It started the 1st week of August and just now I’ve gotten word from my recruiter that they didn’t update on any decisions made. I had my 3rd & final interview last Friday. My recruiter doesn’t communicate well nor does she let me communicate with the company direct. May I being led on? Am I still in the race for this role in your opinion with the details stated. Please message me if you would like to know more in detail.

Is it bad manners or just a bad idea to go back to a recruiter if they got you a job that wound up being a bad fit?
For context, I don’t think they misled me. The job changed 3 weeks after I got hired, and got stuck in a role that’s just not a good fit. Gave it 6 months of honest effort and I’m ready to start job hunting.
I saw this recruiter make a post on LinkedIn, and I liked working with them the first time, and I want to reach out. But I don’t know what they’ll think.

Although Amazon has instituted a hiring freeze and layoffs are probably on their way, I went through the loop for a security engineer position at AWS. Before I attended the final interviews, Amazon placed the hiring freeze and called me to ask if I wanted to go ahead or cancel my application. I decided do go ahead Right now I'm waiting for their response and the position I applied to changed from "under consideration" to "no longer under consideration". Thoughts?

I'm really not sure how badly I want to work for them and I don't want to be laid off months after being hired on. Anyone know what Amazon hiring is like?
