If it’s more than one page it’s a CV. Resumes are one pagers only IMO

My CV is 42 pages long and covers 33 years of consulting I find it a useful resource to remember everything I have done and I use it to build CV’s for particular applications. In fact there is a blog post in the US by one of my peers that says unless your Karl Smith you should have a 2 page CV. And I agree with that. I also have a two page CV. I don’t include school/High School qualifications just my last one which was a Masters in Computer Science completed in 2006. In that I include all the modules because they are great key words. A one page CV would concern me as a potential employer as while it shows an adept mind to reduce content to valuable insights it also raises the question around lack of experience. Secondly I always check business and social media on each candidate to see what’s true and what’s not true.

You can make it a one-liner and say, “I do taxes.”

If you have enough experience to warrant 2 pages without fluff, go for it. More than 2 isn't advisable.

Terrible idea! They look at your resume on average of a few seconds… one page + cover letter AT MOST.

Hi guys,

I switched 20 days back to Optum. I have 7 years of experience working as a full stack Engineer, who is passionate working on both front end and back end on latest technologies. But my project is working only on back end with 10 years old tech stack. There is no front end work at all. What should I do?
I don't like working here at all, but I am not sure whether moving out again in a month will give bad Impression on my resume. Hence please give me advice on this situation
