FAQs: Tailor Your Resume
Q: How long should a resume be?
No matter what resume format you choose, one page is the standard length for a resume. There may be some cases where two pages are acceptable, especially for more senior positions that require extensive work history.
Q: Do I need a cover letter?
Yes, you do need a cover letter for most job applications. A cover letter gives you the chance to directly address the hiring manager and provide extra information, and is an additional opportunity to support your application. The only exception to the rule is when a job posting specifically states that a cover letter should not be provided.
