In the UK, recruiting for various organisations, the defacto standard seemed around two pages. one seemed a little too concise/sparse, three a little too verbose.

That said, 1-3 is sort of acceptable depending on how relevant the information is. But 4+ pages would definitely get thrown in the circular file.




I'm talking from a US perspective. This varies substantially across countries.


CVs and resumes tend to take a different format.
