I have never had a resume longer than one page. I feel like an underachiever now. On the up side, no potential boss ever mislaid the second page of my resume!
Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

I generally can find enough stuff to omit or condense to get down to one page. It's been quite awhile since I've written one though.
"Objective: Work.
Skills: Can work.
Job History: Have worked."
I think you could probably tighten that up.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Though, people don't submit their CV for technical/non-academic positions. Those get the resume. CV for post-doc, fellowships, and academic track positions.
This is the source of my eyeroll. Dear graduate student-type people: please to learn the important life lesson that your academic ways are not always the right ways when dealing with the humans.
(6 pages doesn't particularly ping me -- if it's an academic CV -- just because expectations in different fields are so different when it comes to how much stuff you get to put your name on. But for a resume, it's completely cracktastic.)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Man. Sometimes my job makes me feel dumb. I'm constantly surrounded by PhDs, some rock star PhDs, and just general smarty pantses.

How is it that we've worked down the street from each other all year and not met for lunch once? We are so very lame.
HA! Right? And today is MY LAST DAY!!!

I personally put curses on two different baseball teams and both of them took.

Yeah, but you're way funnier than any of them, and a better writer.
We're one of them, aren't we?
Nope. I cursed the Dodgers so that they wouldn't appear in the World Series in the nineties. And I cursed the Yankees such that anybody who joined the team as a free agent wouldn't win a World Series with them. (This was after Clemens but before Giambi.)

Figures, doesn't it? We'll have to meet up for lunch in the Valley or up in Pasadena some time this summer to make up for our lameness.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Wait a minute -- how does he manage six pages? Did he have a career before going to grad school?
Because I can't think of any legit way for your average 23-year-old to have a six page CV. I'm 20 years out of school and can barely manage two.
