The modern resume

I know what my biases are, but I haven't interviewed anywhere lately, and haven't interviewed more than a dozen candidates or so for my employer.

I only have two post-college jobs (because I tend to stick around the same place for a while. 7+ years at the last one), so I still try to keep it down to one page. Having had input on a fair amount of hiring interviews in that time, I know that most of the time more than one page wasn't any more effective than a single page, and in some cases less. After two pages, we were definitely glossing over things.
