Bad Advice

I was just talking to a candidate for a position I'm trying to fill. In the course of asking her questions about her experience, several things came to light that weren't on her resume. Several things that made her a vastly better fit for the job than I had first thought.
I asked her why she didn't have these things on her resume. She told me that someone had advised her to cut her resume down to one page. Wrong.
Wrong, wrong, wrong.
The one-page rule is fine when you're an inexperienced or entry-level person who doesn't have alot to brag about. When you get to the point when you've had more than a job or two, when you've had a series of accomplishments and experiences....guess what? You can go over a page. When you have something to brag about, brag about it. The aforementioned candidate might not have had a shot at a pretty good job, all because of some very bad advice.
The fundamental thing to remember (and what I always preach) is when you're job-hunting, you're marketing yourself. Your resume is an advertisement for you. When you don't list all of your accomplishments just for the sake of keeping your resume to one page, you're selling yourself short.
