Finally, notice how this community support specialist resume sample follows recommended practices by limiting the
overall document length.
Like other appellate rules, federal and state, those in Texas had already been adjusted to the modern era by the conversion of
document length limits from pages to maximum word counts.
First, while your average private sector resume is limited to two pages (many HR professionals and recruiters have openly admitted to tossing those that are three pages or longer), the federal resume is measured by character limits per section and not
overall document length.
You've probably heard that it's best to keep resumes short, and while it's true that you should aim to keep
your document length at one page, it's important to provide at least five bullet points in each job history section.
Document length is one of the most obvious differences between a resume and a CV, as you can tell from looking at a database administrator CV sample.
One such common blunder relates to
document length.
As in any professional document, avoid «orphan» entries - single reference entries that push
the document length to two pages.
When it comes to too much information, I would suggest that more specifically this means not the right kind of information as opposed to
document length.
