B)As a general guideline, if you have fewer than five years of professional experience, keep your conventional résumé to one page. For online résumé formats, you can always provide links to additional information. If you have more experience and are applying for a higher-level position, you may need to prepare a somewhat longer résumé. For highly technical positions, longer résumés are often the norm as well because the qualifications for such jobs can require more description.
