There's this job I'm interested in that's almost exactly like my first job after graduation. My dilemma is that I'm 5 years into my career, and including that first role pushes my resume to 2 pages. Are two-pagers still frowned upon? I could just show the relevant positions, but then there'd be gaps. Which is the bigger problem?

Do you have any fluff like objective, references, or summary at the top? If so, I’d get rid of it and see where you land.

One pagers are, I believe, far more preferred when feasible.

I don't think it matters that much. Two pages is usually fine, from what I've heard. I think the issue is when it starts to get into three or more pages, that's when you tend to lose most recruiters.

I generally don’t recommend a 2 page resume unless you have 10 years experience. 1 page is sufficient 5 years in. How many roles could you possibly have in 5 years?
