	Re: Resumes Posted by Job Hunter on 4/12/08 You are right that the business world and the education world is different. However, you have to remember that no matter which we are talking of, the purpose of the resume is to get the INTERVIEW and the purpose of the interview is to get the JOB. Two pages or one page, you have to remember this is the order of things. I have a one page and get calls for interviews. I loose the job often because I already have a master's and am dealing with that whole "we can't pay you" thing. But that is a whole other issue for another posting..... In the end, decide which one you want, and be comfortable with it. There are SO many factors with resumes and who is reading them. Some people getting resumes like 2 pages, some like only 1....just like some people like the font Verdana and some like Garamond....just like some people want to see experience listed first on the resume and others like the education section first......in other words, there are so many factors coming into the resume and application process you just can't control. As it is, getting a job sometimes is the forces of the cosmos (or whatever you believe) coming together at that moment in time, and you have to get the right person looking at your resume that has the same opinions on it as you do. And you go in not knowing what that is going in. Give yourself the best chances with what you feel is right.
