	Re: Resumes Posted by Paty on 4/12/08 As a former human resource manager, owner of several businesses and a former teacher, I can tell you that the last response was the most accurate. Every person is different, both in their likes and dislikes and in their objectives from resumes. I always tell people that the length of a resume will vary for many reasons: the size font used, the leading (spacing between lines), the font chosen (width), the amount of information contained (whether it be the vast number of jobs, the details included from each experience, listed references, number of years reported, hobbies and interests, objective or lack thereof, verbosity, etc). I learned in business school that an average employer gives only 30 SECONDS of reading to any given resume. An employer scans for those "magical" words or phrases that are being sought, whether it is "bilingual", "coaching", "certified XXX", or whatever the case may be. For any given position (this is citing the corporate environment remember) there are 200 non-qualified candidates for every 1 qualified. So, don't worry about books and articles that tell you what the "proper way" of writing a resume is. Make your resume easy to read, organized, and professional. A resume must make the reader want to read more and meet that person to get more information. I once helped a friend do hers for restaurant management and we had to have two pages, for she has valuable skills and experience with awesome and staggering numbers to prove her background. She got interviews 90% of the time and was always having to choose her position. It wasn't because her resume was "picture perfect", but because the information contained was relevent to the position being sought. Good luck.
