should your resume be short and sweet or long and detailed?

i would say between medium and long.
it's your chance to brag about yourself and your accomplishments, so long can be good.  just don't make it too wordy.

look up some resume-help websites.

just dont forget to fix it up. change the colors around so it doesn't look too generic.

Make it fit on one page. If you can't make it all presentable at once on one page, you need to thin it down until it does. That is the ideal size.

Yeah, one page.

Also not too colorful. If the business doesn't have a color fax you're in trouble. Or if the writing is illegible.

Definetly don't do colors.

Page length may vary, if you have objective achievements (e.g. degrees, certifications, etc) then add them.  Don't fill it up with crap like "excellent communication skills"  "Ability to work in groups".  It's okay to list a few of those things, just not more than a page worth.

:thumbup:

Definitely, if it's over one page, has weird colors, or looks like it came from a template, they'll throw it out without reading.

Even if you have 30 years experience, put it all on one one page with just a few sentences.  The purpose of a resume is to get you the interview(not the job), so what you don't say is more important than what you do.  Dangle a few items out there that will make them want you to come in and talk, but no more.

All on one page,
make it very orderly and easy to understand,
and list the experience you have to demonstrate positive qualities rather than describing yourself as a hard worker, creative etc.

Make sure you have a cover letter too.
