I agree on the one pager, unless you have a TON of pertinent experience that goes above and beyond the average call of duty. I've talked with a lot of HR people, and the last two said the same thing. If you don't have a masters or at LEAST five years of experience directly related to the field you're applying in, the resume doesn't even get looked at if its over one page. Straight to the garbage.
The company that hired me told me their "filtration" process, which to narrow down the candidates started with resume length, then was spell checked (any error, in the garbage it went), followed by graduate GPA (3.5 or higher only). They would then begin screening candidates from there.
