There seem to be so many “rules” about resumés that take lawyers sideways and compromise their ability to create an effective document. The One Page Rule is one of them. I frequently see resumés that attempt to squeeze too much information onto one page in order to conform to this “rule”—and it really isn’t effective, or pretty. It’s like trying to squeeze into pants two sizes too small. Technically, you might be able to do it, but it just won’t look good.
