    I just dug out mine - two pages. Of course, I've had six different jobs at the Greensboro paper in the 12 years I've been here, and I've had jobs, two colleges (and seminars), freelance writing and editing and a few awards before and since coming here. It's hard to keep it to one page, especially if you've been at it a while.

    I don't mind reading two pages. I'd rather read more than less.

    Only newbies are guilty of incorrect spelling...if fj spelled something wrong, we don't notice. ;-)

    That said, I was always preached the one-page rule in j-school, but I think if your experiences (be they awards, skills and/or vagabond-ness) warrants two pages without being overly wordy, I think you're fine.
