Agreed. I certainly don't mind getting two page resumes. I'd prefer something where a modicum of effort went into presenting the information in a clear, attractive manner than something that's crammed into a single page.

That said, in my opinion the most important page isn't even one of those - it's the cover letter. Perhaps the reason I don't mind slightly longer resumes is that I don't bother to read them carefully if it's clear no effort was put into the cover letter.
