From my point of view, it doesn't really matters a resume should be a single page or couple. But the thing that matters is how you market yourself.

A resume is a very similar to a marketing brochure. Imagine the scenario when you get a brochure from second's car dealer and from BMW dealer. The purpose of both are same, sell the car. Take the second's car dealers brochure, It contains a lot of offer banner, a list of cars based on price range and more. But when you get a BMW brochure, even you can't afford the vehicle but still you admire, re-re-read the brochure, keep it in a good place etc. Why because of its presentation. The presentation creates a storytelling mode which increase the interest of the viewer as he turns each page.

Coming back to the resume, you can apply the same rule. Remove the constraint of pages and start thinking from a different perspective of how to sell yourself?. Give more focus to you strengths and the thinks you have done which make you stand apart from the other candidates. A lot of people use different ways to achieve this like improving the layout, visuals, Typography.

A resume filtering is the first process. There your resume should come in a different category. By looking into the resume, the interviewer should feel promising, trustworthy and creativity. A couple of years before I experimented this same technique of shifting my typical resume to another marketing brochure. And it worked. When I appeared for the interviews, the first thing the interviewer said was my resume looks different from all other resumes that we got, It's interesting and nice. now I am more eager to know about you. Same scenario happens to me three times after that.

This experience taught me a lot of lesson's regarding marketing, psychology and design. Now happy to shared it.
