Your resume architecture will change dramatically with every stage in your career. It is not critical for a resume these days to be only one page, but it would be silly for you to include an entire detailed education on a resume for an industry developer of several years.

Your content should be increasingly selective with every position you get, and every award you get, and every a commendation.

It should be very easy for employers to identify what conversation pieces you are ready for. This can be provided in the form of a side project list, a neat contributions list comma a extracurricular, or presentations you provided. Anything on your resume should be something that you can talk about in great detail. For every interview that I've had, I re-read through code Snippets of all projects I have listed. When Review Time becomes greater than necessary, I delete projects from my resume.

You should also update your resume monthly, you often don't understand or remember what new things should be added to your resume unless you do this as a rolling task. This can accumulate until you are finally applying for jobs, where you would then remove things you no longer find interesting or that are irrelevant. This will give you the opportunity to add non technical, yet important things to your resume.
