IT guys, resume length
#6
Depending on what work experience you have you may want to keep two separate resumes. I keep two separate resumes, one for Architect and one for Manager. It is a detriment to mix the two unless the job listing specifically says they are looking for an Architect to Manage a team. My Manager resume is one page and my Architect is two pages.

Keep your most recent stuff first and be increasingly vague as you go back in time. Hit your buzz words! I usually scan resumes for buzzwords because I'm looking for a particular skillset and then I evaluate attitude and ability over the phone and finally face to face, but to get a call from me you need the buzzwords to get noticed.
