The rules for resume length have changed over the years, but the core principles remain the same. Generally, one or two pages is enough for most job seekers. Those with more than 25 years of related, continuous work experience, or those in fields such as academia or medicine, may need three pages. If you have more than 10 years of experience, you should also include a professional summary and a section on your career highlights.For those with more than 10 years of experience, two pages is the standard length for a professional resume.
