Over the last few weeks I've trawled through about 40 resumes while hiring for two positions, and some were absolutely godawful. Four or five pages of waffle.
Definitely keep them focused and to the point. Mine is one page, but then I've only ever had two jobs. I'd say two is the max, though. Have a bulletted summary of your main skills, with the number of years experience you have with them, and bullet any particular achievements or success stories at each job. Don't list personal interests and activities, but something like an objective is always good. Keep it readable and not too compressed. A cover letter is good detailing why you think you would be a good fit to the particular position you are applying for.
