"​How long should my resume be?"

Rather than a one-size-fits-all career histories approach, I like to think about these things:
​

• How many years of relevant work experience do you have? If less than 10, lean towards one page. If more than 15, lean towards two pages.
• Do you have a lot of meaningful or impressive volunteer or leadership experience? If yes, lean towards two pages.
• Do you have lists of conferences, presentations, publications, awards, patents, etc? If so, these sections can go on a third page OR fill a second page. Note that these supplemental, CV-like sections are the only time I would ever recommend a third page in a resume. These sections often lead to a hybrid, resume-CV format.
