My best resume tip comes from the eternal candidate question: how long should my resume be? In my opinion, it doesn't hurt to push your resume past 1 or 2 pages, especially in the electronic age. I'm not talking about padding your resume or including every detail of every past work experience. But if you have extensive past experience, something in there might be relevant to what I need today. If you're cutting too much out, you might not show up in my search results.

Of course, that first page is still very important! Think about the top third of your resume's first page as your advertising billboard. It pulls a recruiter or hiring manager in to read the rest of your story, including all of your relevant experience. :-)
