In my experience, I think you have to use whichever layout you need to make sure that all relevant information is conveyed. For me, that is two pages. I think the organization of the resume is much more crucial to getting noticed than the overall length.

Lately we have been focusing on resumes and there are disagreements on what the rule of thumb is concerning length. Is a one page or multiple page resume the best option for museum jobs? Thanks for your help and advice.
