It depends on the position you are applying for. It is perfectly acceptable to have 2 pages if you are applying for a management position. Employers are looking for experience, outside interests, and personal accomplishments, etc. If you are applying for a staff (non-leadership) position, keep it to one page. But don't make the font too small. Better to change format or review to see if you have any superflous information you can delete. Good luck in your job search.

Your resume should always be 1 page long. 1 page looks professional to potential employees and it gives them just enough information (avoiding unecessary "stuff" or info about you)
If you must make the font 10 then I would suggest doing it, but if you can take out some info that seems uneccessary or not very important than delete it and keep the resume 12 font.
GOOD LUCK!

ONE page only ! But don't make the printing too small; just condense all the information you have. If the information limited on that one page is somewhat impressive, you will be asked for additional information and references.
Good luck !

One page is good.
Editing for content is good, being to the point is good, being readable is very good.
If it really does take a page and a half to tell the story of you, then thats what it takes.
If I need a magnifying glass to read it that is not good.
If you ramble on about crap I don't care about that is not good.
try and put extra interests and non critical stuff on the second page so that I don't need to read it to make up my mind about whether or not I want to know more about you. My time matters.

The shorter the better.
Please make sure that the one page resume is very readable and "EASY ON THE EYES".

1 page, simple, clean, telling company what you have to offer. Not too many details either.
