They prefer people who only had 1-2 jobs in the past many years. It is definitely easier to do a 1 page if you were more stable with employment. But I saw someone with a lot of impressive stuff who condensed his into 1 page.

As someone who worked in HR, companies do not prefer people who have had only 1-2 jobs. That's silly. Especially in the Silicon Valley where I worked, this would be damn near impossible to find. Many times the best way to get upward mobility is to leave a company and go somewhere else. Even if you leave for more money (and it can be a BIG jump), many times it comes with a change in job title (like Sales Engineer to Senior Sales Engineer to Staff Engineer, just by changing companies - basically same job duties, but better title and pay with each change).

And, even if you have "stable" employment (which I'm going to say is more than 3 years in a job), I would not be impressed if someone worked somewhere for 10 years and didn't move up the ladder and take on additional or new responsibilities in that time. If you are doing the exact same thing today that you did when you started 10 years ago, there's probably something wrong with you.
