In 2018, a typical résumé created in LiveCareer’s builder was about 312 words. By 2023, this average length surged to 503 words, indicating a significant change in how résumés are constructed.
The evolution of the length of résumés between 2018 and 2023 signifies a departure from the one-page norm. Recruiters wanted comprehensive narratives, emphasizing detailed presentations of skills and experiences.
A 2018 ResumeGo study indicated that recruiters are 2.3 times more likely to prefer two-page résumés compared to one-page. This trend reflects the ongoing demand for more detailed applicant documentation.
Two-page résumés are now the industry norm. Providing extensive information about skills and qualifications gives potential employers a nuanced understanding of a professional's journey.
