Chapter 07 — Work & Career
How long should my resume be?
One page under 10 years' experience, two pages beyond that, never three unless academic or federal. Recruiters spend 6–8 seconds on first pass — clarity beats completeness.
Follow-up questions
Objective statement?
Dead. Replace with a two-line summary of what you do and want next.
References on the resume?
No. 'Available on request' is redundant — omit it.
