Sorry, one page won’t work for most people unless you are directly out of school. 1-2 page for many, but 3-4 or more may be necessary. Depends on the skills, your job history, and what is needed to share your story. And the applicant scoring programs won’t penalize you for length, but keep in mind that the first page must give enough interest-grabbing detail for the human to look at the subsequent pages.

The problem is that HR professionals take maybe 10 seconds to read your resume and, guess what, if it has a staple or paper clip in it, it’s probably going in the trash.
The best thing you can do is (1) precall and get a NAME to send the resume to directly, (2) talk to that person before you send the resume, and (3) email the person afterwards.
Keeping your name in their mind works wonders.
