Is a two page resume TERRIBLE?

Mine is 2 pages. I don't know what to cut! I could take out my summary and 'achievements' -- and I guess for the education section I could only put the college I got my bachelors from, and leave out the other two schools I went to first (I went to adelphi for one semester, then nassau for 3, then went to school in PA) ....

Any tips????

IMO if every single line on there is applicable to the position that you are applying for then I say 2 pages is fine. If you took a couple of lines talking about activities or hobbies then I'd say cut it out.

What I find works really well is to send your resume to like 2 or 3 people (not your parents) to give you an honest opinion.

Good luck in your job hunt!
