People who receive your resume, also receive a lot of others. Any resume that's more than two pages will most likely be discarded without a glance. And two pages isn't as good as one. All the resume does is to give them a glimpse and a hint whether or not they want to find out more. Don't try so hard. If you've been a good student, your GPA and the subjects you've taken will speak for themselves. The purpose of the resume is to intrigue someone just enough for them to want to find out more.
Good luck.

They are all right; most people will not even look at a second page. You need to get it down to 1 page. Then, in an interview you can provide a portfolio that contains certificates, etc. that show all of the specific things that you have achieved.
When someone receives 9 pages they will throw it into the discard pile just because it is so long.
If you were involved in a lot of clubs then list a few. You can make a statement that there are other clubs; please request to see portfolio. The same for volunteering. Include the most recent and/or most important to the field which you wish to pursue.

It's perfect, unless of course you want someone to read it.
By "Senior" I'm assuming you are still in school. A resume should be 1 page. If you are a very experianced professional (15 to 20 years experiance you can get away with 2 pages, but if you are student one page only.

Not really, if you can't summarize your work history on one page by yourself then I would find someone to help you. After one page the reader is falling to sleep and they don't want to know your every breath just a brief history of your working history and education.

9 pages! Sorry, but no one will read 9 pages. You need to sell yourself on the first page and forget all the babbling nonsense.

colleges prefer to ascertain high quality extremely than quantity. in case you purely have 5 or 6 extra-curriculars, yet are in touch in them, it's going to look extra valuable than 14 which you at the instant are not in touch in or dedicated to.

resume is supposed to be one page.......you dont want to brag that much.....if people see nine pages they are more apt to not read it.....keep it short and to the point.
