Columbia asks for 1-2 pages for the resume/CV. I believe that they historically only allowed 1 page so I was surprised when I saw that they were allowing 2 pages and that they were referring to it both as a resume and a CV (since I understand that CVs are typically longer). Is it okay to use this space if I have been out of school for 6 years and have also held substantial leadership roles and planned over a dozen large-scale programs or fundraisers for non-profits? I also have a graduate degree. I have also won several awards in the past 4 years and had many speaking engagements. While I normally would not include this on my "business" (a job) resume, I feel like I could break this out to have the first page be a career and education overview and the second page be more of an addendum that details my extensive extracurricular and volunteer work. I don't want using the whole second page to come off as being cocky though when I only have 6 years of work experience.
Hi,
Great question. I'd probably stick to one page. You don't need to list all the nonprofit events you've organized or all the speaking engagements. Certainly give a flavor of them, but I think you can showcase everything you mentioned on one page!
Good luck,
Mili
