Resume, Cover Letter - Introduction Letter Examples

[dfrecore]

The general rule is that two pages are fine if you are more experienced. I've gotten plenty of interviews with two-page resumes.

I no longer do follow-ups because government agencies tend to not care and don't know how to respond to them. I can't wait until cover letters go the way of the dinosaur. I've applied to jobs that required a lengthy application, resume, and cover letter or letter of interest. Talk about overkill.

At some point in your career, when you have 10, 15, 20+ years of experience, and you've moved up the ladder, it's practically impossible to get down to just a single page.
