I disagree. Of the thousands of resumes I’ve read in the last few years, none have been on paper.

They’re limited to one page by default because in the majority of cases, you should be able to convey your relevant experience of the last 10-15 years concisely.

If you cannot, because of your amazing experience, use more pages. Nobody will care. If you could have, but can’t see it, others will and will think you’re too wordy and toss your resume.

It being 2 pages is a cultural vestige - that was my point.

When you think about the resume, it's a terrible representation of you and what you can do in a work place. If a human is to look for a summary, sure, 2 pages is great, but when developers have things like github repos, what do other workers have?

The sum total of work for a marketer or ops engineer etc is harder to contain in a resume, much less an easily shareable thing.

We can do better. This is a space I care about deeply.
