A powerful resume relies on action verbs and concise bullet points rather than dense paragraphs. Knowing your word count helps you eliminate fluff and highlight measurable achievements.
How Long Should a Resume Be?
- Total Word Count: Typically between 300 and 600 words for a one-page resume.
- Page Limit: 1 page for entry-level and mid-level roles; 2 pages max for seniors and executives.
- Bullet Points: Aim for 3 to 5 bullets per job experience, roughly 1-2 sentences each.
