If you're looking for entry level positions, some companies trash resume`s in excess of one page. Are you describing everything you do in too much depth? You don't have to make everything you do sound earth-shattering. I know some-people who list job despcriptions/accomplishments for clubs/societies they are in. If I held a title, I list that as a one worder description. That I ran meetings and organized events is implied and obvious--therefore unecessary to include. I have been compiling a resume book for a student professional society that I'm president of, and every person who has submitted a resume over one page has NOT needed two. Get someone else--older/more experienced than you who has been in the proffessional world--to look at it . Right off, they're going to see things they think are either irrelevant or redundant. (I had my dad take a look at mine, he hires people all the time, so I really listen to what he has to say.) You can go to two pages when you have years of experience.
