In this episode, Sarah discusses the common misconception that your resume should only be one page long. Think about it, if you have a long and accomplished career history, why would you limit your ability to sell your experience?
And, if your resume is only 1 page long, chances are you are omitting crucial details about your skills and experience, and in doing so, you're going to come across as a generic candidate and NOT stand out from other people!
There are many reasons to expand your resume. So take a listen and see if you could improve how you sell yourself.

06:01 When your resume reads like just an overview of your previous responsibilities, it makes it hard for you to stand out.
07:35 If you’ve received feedback from someone that your resume should only be one page, ask them why!
