Should I limit my resume to one page? Or let it flow onto a second? I have been out of college for almost 5 years and I have held three significant jobs in that time. I also worked while in college, held leadership roles, and I still volunteer with several organizations. Is it a bad idea to go to a second page or is it better to let the length be a bit longer to cover things in more depth without squishing them together?
Thank you,
Laura

So many companies are cutting jobs citing economic uncertainty. The first thing I did was get my resume professionally done. It only took me 2 months to find a new accounting job in Fort Lauderdale, FL. -http://www.myexpertresume.com/ - professional resume writer
