My boyfriend is working on his resume right now, he's applyhing for jobs as an electrical engineer. A neighbor of mine that's a rocket scientist gave him a sample resume to work off - it was 3 pages!

So josh worked hard to get this lengthy description of stuff, burying his degree and certification deep into the thing and then showed it to me. In all of my business education, I was told "unless you're going to be a professor, keep it to 1 page, especially if you've just graduated!"

What is everyone's philosophy on all this? I feel like a 3 page resume will get put in the round file pretty damn fast when they figure out that none of the jobs listed are in engineering - they were summer internships where he worked as a code monkey. Or as a survey boy.
