One page. Everyone hates 2 page CVs.

The new rule is 1 page. Most of what I’ve been told by recruiters is that if it’s longer than 1 page, they immediately throw it out.

New rule? I’ve been told 1 page since 10 years ago. That is also my entire career.

One page. I have over 10 years of work experience across two careers and I’ve still managed to keep mine to one page.

Hit the abridged. List the most relevant things for the jobs. If you need to cut experience that isn’t relevant and is too far out years wise than do what you have to.

1 page

It’s always nice to have one page.

1 page

So I was always an advocate for 1 page and mostly still am. That being said I hired a resume writing service a few years ago and was surprised they returned a 2 page resume (~10yoe). Reluctantly shopped the resume around and got interviews with McK, BCG, and several industry leadership positions. But I also went through referrals and not cold, so that probably helped to.

1 page for the most part. If you’re trying to apply within the public sector, they love receiving novels of your life as a resume. Other than that, I’m a proponent of the 1 page as that’s what I’ve experienced everywhere else

I applied with EY for a Senior Manager role I had my first stage interview with a senior manager, which I thought went well as I got the partner interview 2 weeks later, and said I'll be contact within 10 day HR. This did not happen so I chased up. Today I received feedback from HR stating that the senior manager, who would have been my peer, said I didn't have enough experience. But the partner who I would have been working under did like me.
Is this normal with EY recruitment
