Thoughts on 3-page resume?
I come from a very varied background and can't fit it all on 1 page

Your title is senior economist so I'm assuming that you have a lot of academic research? In which case I think that may be fine to have 3 pages...

Assuming that you don't likely don't have the same experience, but I remember Larry summers has a 10 page resume. But he's Larry summers...

Nope. 2 page max.

USA = 2 pages max

Rest of the world = CV = 3 pages or more depending on profession

No one is going to read more than a page. Truthfully, you have someone’s attention for about 45 seconds before they decide to move on or not. Say what’s most relevant to the role you’re applying for.

I find there's something inheritly classiest about 1 page CV. Like ya if you went to big schools it works

I don’t understand how it’s classist… honestly curious about why you think that but IMO it’s not about where you went to school. It’s about crafting something compelling yet concise because no one wants it to take 3 pages to decide whether you might be a fit. I’m sure you (and most professional folks) can fill up pages upon pages with the great work they’ve done but a resume shouldn’t be that detailed.

Two to one page 📄. One page is highly recommended.

If you’re going for a fed government position, it’s fine.
Everyone else = 2 max

Started a new job 7 months ago. There’s been a hiring freeze and it seems they canned the recruitment team. Things seems to be slowing down drastically in the span of a week. Getting the resume all spiffed up and getting interviews together. When do you make the exit? “When you find a job” I know, but…

Also, would me making my exit to another role that I might leave in a 8 months bite me in the ass down the line? Do I just grab anything in the interim?

I’ll of course prep for the interviews but am afraid to burn potential bridges if I ultimately decline because I’m still figuring things out.
