Help with resume

[Susan Bensons <bensons@SUFFOLK.LIB.NY.US>]

I am a recent graduate who's getting her resume together and going nuts with it.
I am looking for suggestions as to how long and detailed my resume should be.  I'm
curious to know if the suggestions found on various web sites are truly what
schools are looking for.

I put together a rough draft, and my resume came to two pages. I hear that having
a two-page resume is okay, but some say that if it is two pages, it will be
overlooked.  Some suggest that I write explanations of my experiences with action
verbs and specific achievements, while others say that I should have no more than
three one-line bullets per job/experience. I want to be sure to include what is
necessary.  Where do you draw the line between too much information and too sparse?

What's the real scoop?  All suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks!
