Is the length of a resume significant?

Resume length? High school student? HELP?

  • My resume is roughly two pages, is that alright?

  • Answer:

    Shorter and succinct is best. If you could get it to one page that would be ideal. GCFLearnFree.org has free tutorials on how to write a resume: http://www.gcflearnfree.org/resumewriting It includes instructional text, informational graphics, examples, and even interactives for you to practice what you've learned/actually apply what you've learned. If you need additional help for things like writing a cover letter or how to prepare for an interview, there are tutorials for that as well: http://www.gcflearnfree.org/career Hope it helps and Good Luck!

That may be too long for a HS student! I'm a college graduate and mine is 2 pages! When I was in HS, I was told it should be 1 neat page. Even if it went on to the next page, you should change the margins, ect to make it all fit on one page. However, if you feel all your experiences are relevant and you're having trouble shortening it, I would go to a school guidance counselor for help. They'll know what to keep and what to cut. Oh, congrats for having 2 pages worth of experiences! If you're applying to college, you might be a good candidate for several schools! ^.~
