Writing Tips
One Page vs Two Page Resume: Pakistan Recruiter View
Recruiters spend seconds on first pass. Choose page count based on experience and industry norms here.
Recruiter time is short
HR officers handling hundreds of Rozee applications per role often skim on laptop screens. Page one must stand alone.
If everything important fits on one strong page, do not add page two for decoration.
Page two that is only references or generic hobbies wastes attention.
Signals of readiness for two pages
Ten plus years across multiple employers with rising responsibility.
Technical specialists with certifications and project lists that support senior hire interviews.
Consulting profiles with client sectors and engagement outcomes.
Pakistan-specific nuance
Banks and government prefer compact formal CVs even for experienced candidates. Put depth in interview folders, not always in CV.
Advertising and creative roles can use portfolio links instead of long CV text.
Academic CVs for university jobs follow different rules with publications lists.
Make page one count
Summary, latest role, education, core skills on page one always.
Older roles compress to title, company, years.
Use bold sparingly for metrics so skimming eyes catch results.
