It is a Relevant Question and the Answer is Relative to your Career Background

Time was when the answer to the question “How long should my resume be?” was, “One page.”

Well, times have changed. Today, HR specialists understand that a resume needs to be long enough to get you an interview call, and that will depend more on your experience than anything else.

Padding resumes is never a good idea, because hiring managers have well learned to erecognize every resume-padding rrick in the book.  On the other hand, your resume must be long enough to cover your education, work experience and anything else that will make a positive difference in your chances of getting the job for which you are applying.

Your resume should include your career objective, current occupation, industry, years of experience, number of employers, scope of accomplishments and education/training. However long is takes you to include all this information in a succinct and professional manner is how long your resume should be.
