A friend of mine came by over the weekend to go over his job search plan. He had paid a good deal of money to a company that helped him rewrite his resume and then they blasted out hard and soft copies to thousands of companies.

Well, he hasn't gotten the results he had hoped for, so he was asking for advice. I was shocked to see that this company recommended that he limit his resume to one page! He has over 20 years of experience and I have always thought the one page rule was for recent graduates, not accomplished professionals.

I encouraged him to expand to at least 2 pages and to add detail regarding his major accomplishments in each position he has held.

I would love your input in order to give him some advice so I have launched a poll on LinkedIN at http://polls.linkedin.com/poll-results/15416/myoew

Thanks!
