I'm in my late twenties. The one page option doesn't allow me to adequately explain my experiences and education...
When you have a two paged resume, do you double side print it or staple two pages together?

An employer won't read 2 pages, you need to shorten it. There are several formats for a resume, so try a different format that describes your qualifications rather than separating it by place of employment. Again, do not give someone a 2 page resume to read.

You don't double side it or staple it together. I would create a footer with your full name on it and a page number. That way they know that the pages belong together.
I've been told it is okay to have a longer resume when it is needed to tell the story. However, as you are adding new jobs on the resume, you might want to remove activities and tasks from previous jobs that are not really relevant for the job you are pursuing in order to reduce the size of your resume and give yourself more room.

If you can avoid it don't do a 2 page resume. If it is too long employers will not read it! If you have to use 2 pages i would use one double sided page so the second page does not get separated from the first.

There are ways to condense your resume to fit it on one page. I have the same problem. I consulted with a professional resume writer and she did a fantastic job. I had more compliments on my resume then ever! And being on the interviewer side I honestly believe that a one page is the way to go.

I have a 3 page resume. First Page: Cover Letter
Second/Third Page: Explains my experiences following my education.
Whatever you do, do not double side. Staple the Pages together.
I hope this was helpful?

Its usually wise not to have more than two pages because the person that looks over them likes them to be short and concise because they are more than likely looking at hundreds of others and dont want to spend forever on one.

2 separate pages, but not stapled.. also know that most resumes are looked at for about 10 seconds, so get your main points across quickly!!!!
