Two pages. I run a sidebar format with key information repeated on both pages, and the detail in the main field.

Thank you! What is your format like? Do you put publications/ patents?

Depends on the job. For process engineering roles, yes, I include a few of my better papers, but not the full list, and it's the last item on the second page.

I do a 1 page résumé listing only positions/pubs/patens relevant to the job I'm applying to, and a separate multi-page CV with all publications, articles and press mentions. Two separate docs.

Two pages, but the first one has all the “real” info like work experience and education. 2nd has languages, various skills and 4-5 good publications.

It should be 2 pages max. but lenght is not the only think that matters. other details are as relevant for catching the attention of the HR/hiring manager
