Resume Guidelines - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Hi guys

How long can a resume be for a person with two years experience with MS degree? What are the guidelines. Somebody told me it shouldn't exceed more than a page if you have less than five years experience! Is that true?

How long should be a project description for a job related project (project you did at your previous job)? How many bullets are usually a safe bet? A recruiter once told me to write as much description for a project as possible. If I do so my resume runs into four pages with just two years of experience (plus MS)?

Any website for engineering resumes?

Thanks all

Jason

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
