As long as it is telling your compelling story.
In general, most people have 1-2 pages. But yours can be longer.
A resume should only be as long as it’s telling a compelling story. When it ceases to be compelling, stop writing. Your professional career isn’t limited by pages, but by the story it tells. We believe everyone has a story and telling it in a compelling manner is what sets you apart. Our experts are able to produce a compelling resume in 1-2 pages, but we often see 3-4 pages. It really depends upon the industry, experience and accomplishments you might have.
It’s not uncommon for us to see 10+ pages for those in the academic, scientific and research fields, along with those that work on project teams. Listing key projects can consume a fair amount of space which is why we recommend the use of Project Lists.
Regardless, we will produce a compelling resume concisely using the fewest pages necessary.
Little Less than a week.
Generally it takes upwards of five days. We are unique in this regard; we aren’t a paper mill turning out generic or templated documents. We work on this schedule because we have learned it takes time to get to know you, to learn about your professional background and experience, and to understand your career objectives. We spend quality time with you at the outset. Then we carefully craft a customized resume to meet your needs and to ensure that you receive a powerful resume that will not only capture the attention of employers, but meet your complete satisfaction.
You will be.
We fully guarantee that we will work to make you happy and satisfied with all of our products and services. Our motto sums it up, “Sequence: Where a handshake still means everything.”

Resume vs. CV
A resume is more commonly used in all industry sectors in the U.S. while a CV is more often used here when applying for academic, education, scientific, and research positions, and can be applicable when applying for fellowships and grants. CVs are also used more widely in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.
The primary difference between the two is length and structure (what is included and how it’s used). A resume is generally shorter than a CV. It will usually be 1-2 pages summarizing your experience, knowledge, skills, education, and key accomplishments.
A Curriculum Vitae (CV) summarizes your educational and academic background, plus teaching and research experience, publications and presentations, awards and honors, along with professional affiliations and other pertinent facts related to the profession.
So which should you use? Unless you’re in the academic / educational / technical field, you should use a resume.
