Resume tips are pretty useless from anyone at anytime due to the fact that employers or anyone in a hiring position will vary wildly from another person in the same type of position. I've heard the 1-page thing and I've heard the 1+ page thing. Be specific, don't be so specific. They care about you also, they only care about what you've done. They've made their mind up about you in the first 3 seconds, except sometimes at the end of the interview.
For my job they had 70ish applicants, approximately 20 who were qualified for the position, and 10 who were more qualified than I was. I had zero experience in my field (meaning this was my first career job). I got the job because they said I did well in the interview and was very excited about the prospect of working for this particular department, not just getting a job in general. My resume was 1-page and they said it didn't really matter at all about my resume besides the fact that I had my degree.
The hiring process is so convoluted with tips and strategies that apply only to a specific type of interviewer that it is staggering.
