How Long Your Resume Should Be?

As someone who has read countless resumes for the standard set of tech jobs, one page should be more than enough space. If you have a portfolio or can point to online projects you've worked on, then put a link in the resume so potential employers can review your work if they're interested.

I used to say that if you have more than a page there better be a Nobel prize on the 2nd page. However, these days if you put more than a page worth of stuff in your resume then chances are few people will read that far. Maybe that's okay if you're keyword stuffing for machines to parse your resume, but I suspect you're applying for the wrong jobs if you do that. Just the highlights please.
