Comment on Ask HN: How long should an ideal resume be?parent

Comments

Good advice. 2 pages is ideal but in some cases there is enough relevant info to warrant more than that, particularly if you've led a reasonably accomplished career.

An honest list of languages & tech and an honest appraisal of your skill level in each. (Don't include things like mongoDB because it's a hot-topic and you've read the wiki page.)

A list of your accomplishments.

A list of personal work that's relevant to your interests & chosen career path (always link to your work).

Lists are great, mainly because no-one see's the value in reading purple prose about how you are a dynamic and self-motivated individual.
