Yes, your résumé should only be one page.
Keep it cogent. Your inability to keep it short says something about your editing skills more than it says anything about your accomplishments.
Incorporate keywords that come up often in job postings...
"Such as 'customer relations' if you're in sales, and 'creative' if you're in advertising," according to The Real Simple Guide To Real Life (Oxmoor House; April 7, 2015). "The HR departments of many big companies employ applicant-tracking systems to search for given terms on résumés. That way, they can immediately disqualify people who don't use the important terms and whittle down the pool by as much as 50 percent."
Write out the basics. And don't forget to add your skills.
The core résumé ingredients: Your name, mailing address, e-mail address, and cell-phone number; work experience; schooling; references; skills. Skills are important because they can really add value to your experience. Let's say you're great at PowerPoint (and your would-be boss is terrible at it), that skill can really place you ahead of the pack.
