The modern resume

[msmemory_archive]

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.

A point of clarification on things I did not check.

Cell phone if it is in fact the way to reach you, or one of the best ways.
Volunteer work if it is germane to your skills and can be explained in a way that makes it mesh with other examples of those skills on your resume.

I can't remember the last time I saw a one-page resume except on really fresh-out-of-college folks.

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.
