Is a one-page resume absolutely necessary?


No, but..! Ninety percent of recent college graduates at the bachelor's level should be able to keep their resume to one page. Employers like one-page resumes. If you are having trouble reducing your information to one page, try adjusting the margins. The rule of thumb is to have an inch margin around, but it's okay to extend the top and bottom margin. You can also reduce the font size from a 12 to an 11. A 10 font size is too small and should only be used if absolutely necessary.
