How Long Should a Resume Be (20, 10 Years Experience)

For resumes, no; for an American CV, yes. A CV, also known as a curriculum vitae, is a broad overview of a person’s career and can run to eight pages or more. It is more commonly used in academia, science, and law, where employers want to know about a candidate’s research, publications, awards, and affiliations.

Typically, the job description will tell you what types of documents will be submitted.
