Resume Length (2 pages ok?)

[DWeber <dweber -at- HARRIS -dot- COM>]

     I was always told as a rule of thumb, to try to keep my resume to one
     page.....at all costs.

     By doing that, I find myself having to remove what I feel is
     impressive project descriptions that were completed in college.  To
     me, they show a more well-roundedness in experience, that I am not
     just limited to working in a defense/government environment (my
     current and previous employment).


     So, what's your opinion on a multiple page resume?  Tacky, or
     necessary?  I don't want to short-change my experience just to squeeze
     it all on one page.  Appearance in a resume is important too, so you
     can't overcrowd.    I'd like to hear from those who actually hire tech
     writers and others.....what do you look for in a resume?


     Thanks in advance,

     Di
