make it as long as you like. I remember 10 years ago or so I got a resume that was 63 pages long YES I said 63 pages long.

 

He listed everything. Thank god he did. I was looking for a skill call LE 370  was an old IBM term. Could not find anyone who had this. If he would have only a 1 or 2 page resume he would not have listed it. I made @1,000 a week of this guy for 52 week.
