1 page (niche industries maybe 2). If you can’t get your point across in 1 page then that’s a huge red flag…24 pages? When I was in HR I wouldn’t have even read that resume, I’m amazed he’s gotten a single interview with that let alone 60.
I was just thinking that a 10 page resume sounds like you’re going to be a nightmare to work with. If any work gets done it will be needlessly complicated and make everything harder for everyone.
Exactly. Either they are clueless about or refuse to follow conventions like using 1-2 page resumes, are incapable of taking outside advice, are unable to communicate succinctly, or have some other major issue.
Government (US) job applications, interview process, and selection criteria etc are so far removed from any civilian process that it needs to be a completely separate conversation. If he’s ocassionally changing his resume down to 2 pages or getting 60 interviews a month he’s not applying to US government jobs.

2 pages is fine, most resumes I see is two pages, especially if you have 10+ years of relevant experience to cover
I thought this too and then I saw the requirements to apply for federal jobs. They require literally 24 pages of content.
You’re right tho 2 pages and maybe a portfolio is more than enough.
