How many words should a resume be?
A one-page resume usually holds about 400 to 600 words, and a two-page resume up to about 1,000. Length matters less than whether every line shows something you did.
How is the page count estimated?
We divide your word count by 475 words a page, or your line count by 50 lines a page, whichever is larger. That's roughly a one-column US letter page at 10.5–11 pt. Your template, font and margins change the real number.
How long should a resume bullet be?
One or two lines. Bullets over 30 words usually wrap to a third line, and long bullets are the ones readers skim. Lines that start with •, - or * count as bullets.
What counts as a filler phrase?
Weak openers such as “responsible for” and “duties included”, and self-descriptions such as “team player” or “detail-oriented” that a reader can't verify. Each flag comes with what to do instead.
