It depends but generally no, a resume should almost never be more than two pages long. Because hiring managers only skim a resume for a few seconds before deciding to either look into it in detail or send it to the rejection pile. You just have to be clear, concise and relevant.
Not more than two.
Standard it shouldn’t be more than two pages, in as much as you’re trying to put in enough information to let you employer know whom you are you don’t want to bore them with too much information. Just put in the required, focus on your experiences, achievements, milestones, projects you’ve worked on. Your general abilities and work place adaptation, you know the juicy interesting stuffs that makes you hireable
like the name indicate “Curriculum vitae ” it should explain all you achievements and it can be up to 6 pages but mind you pick out the most important ones. Unlike your resume which is a summary, should not be more than 2 pages.
It is advisable to keep your CV nice and short, two pages is just perfect. Just important information is needed so that it isn’t too bulky and bore your prospective employer. In other words keeping it short can increase your chances of getting a job faster.
