I think the length of resume depends on the type of job. I got a cs degree, and all cs majors had like 2-4 page resumes. [/ QUOTE ] So was I. No need for more than 1 page unless your Bill Gates.

Re: thinking about getting a job...
nowadays, 2 pages is fine. times change. my boss is currently looking to fill a position in our group, and he looked at one resume, turns to me and says "he has 1 page...how can you describe all of your skill sets and job experience relative to this position in 1 page..." luckily he cares about the environment, so rather than going straight into the trash can its sitting in a paper bin waiting to become paper once again.

There really is no need for more than one. Mine is only one. I was just saying that the majority of cs resumes that I saw were longer. Not that I was a fan. The HR person that will be looking at the resume might not even be familiar with all the technical garbage that gets flooded onto multiple page resumes, they just know it looks ugly and they don't want to read it.

Re: thinking about getting a job...
If the only reason you want a job is to purchase a house, it seems like you are trying to solve the wrong problem.
You should spend more time figuring out how to obtain a home loan with your current means of income. I can't think of a single person I know that actually enjoys going to work, but that is just my little world.

Re: thinking about getting a job...
When I graduated from college I was in basically the same situation that you are in now. I had a physics degree and my only "real" job experience, not including caddying for 5 years, was working in a professor's lab for one summer. Since I ended up going to law school, I don't really have any advice about getting a job. Though, now that I am getting closer to becoming part of the real world, I am starting to regret not taking more time to smell the roses. So my advice to you is to not worry about getting a real job right away and live off poker winnings while doing something different like travelling. Or what about moving to Vegas for a year, playing poker, and dating a stripper?

Any 22 year old who cannot fit their resume on to 1 page is full of sh*t.
