Deni H is juggling a lot of balls right now.

update my resume (read all 7 entries…)
Resumé questions... 4 years ago

Still supposed to be only one page?

What point-size is too small?

How long ago is too far back at this point (I’m 28)?

6 point

At 37, I am getting close to that. Luckily, I have been at the same job for the past 16+ years, so I could remove all the older jobs on my resume and increase the point size to something a little more legible.

A Well-Read Dog Head is standing right behind you

It's ok to go to two pages

If you can trim your resume to one page without taking out experiences and skills that are applicable to the position you’re pursuing, then feel free. If not, you’re short changing yourself by sticking to the single page rule.

I wouldn’t go smaller than 10 point on a resume.

It is terrierhead…look here for an explanation:

And, I believe they’re the same font and point sizes. (If I’m remembering my PR techniques class well there’s also a pica size setting, which is different than point sizes.) I guess you have to check?

Definitely! Good luck, Deni!

PS I think refugee’s advice is spot-on.
