Yes, a resume can be two pages. If you have 10+ years of experience in your industry or an exceptional amount of relevant skills and accomplishments, it’s okay to write a two-page resume. However, for entry to mid-level candidates, a one-page resume is best for most job applications.

No, you do not list every job on a resume. You only need to list your recent positions, or the work experience that’s most relevant to your target job. Your resume should sell your strengths as a candidate, not provide a complete history of every job you’ve ever had.

Two to five jobs should be on a resume. While the number of jobs you include depends on your experience level, a range of 2–5 typically fills a one-page resume and is best for most candidates.

Your profile on a resume is a short section at the top of your resume that summarizes your key qualifications and skills. It helps hiring managers quickly see if you’re right for the job before they read your entire resume.

Yes, by entering your personal information, you can add a photo to your resume. To do this, click on the icon with a photo that you will find. You can upload, edit, and add the photo to your resume.

No, you do not print a resume double sided. A double-sided resume looks unprofessional and makes it difficult for hiring managers to look at all of your qualifications at once.

You should list 4 to 10 skills on a resume. The number of skills you include on your resume depends on the job you want, but 4 to 10 is enough for most candidates.

No, it’s not ok to not include dates on a resume. Employers need to know when you held each position and how long you held it to determine whether you’re worth bringing in for an interview.

Yes, you should make your resume in Word. Microsoft Word allows you to save your resume as a DOC or a PDF file, which are the two most common resume file formats. If you don’t have Word, you can use Pages or a free option like OpenOffice to save your resume as a Word or PDF file.

PDF is the best file to save a resume. Saving your resume as a PDF ensures that your resume retains its formatting and is easy for any hiring manager to open.

No, you do not put your birthday on a resume. By putting your birthday on a resume, employers may discriminate against you, either because they think you’re too old or too young for the position they’re hiring for.
