Ask HN: How important is it to stuff your CV into one page?
Recruiters and CV Reviewers don't have much time, so its often recommended to put only the most important information on one page, especially for new graduates.
I am writing my CV in LaTeX and it takes 2 pages, I am a soon to-be new graduate as well and I dislike the idea to switch the page layout only to press all the information into one page. The most important facts are on page one and some additional (Awards, Certificates, detailed skill set) are on page two.
How important do you think is this rule of thump or is it already outdated? I am just afraid that my CV could be sorted out just because it is long and the recruiter don't want to waste time reading it.
