With the removal of the "inappropriate links", the remaining aspects of the edit to Federal Resume's went as well. That added informationis accurate, and needed. A two page resume is not the standard for applying to a Federal position. Some resume's are up to 17 pages long, and are necessary. It may seem odd to have a 17 page resume, but that is the method by which the Federal government applies weight to an applicant's skills, experience, and background. The "heaviest" resume wins.

I was almost embarrassed when I found this page. I was making this same spelling correction on another page (KSA) and ended up here, finding not only the title, but also throughout the article, the word "résumé" misspelled as "resume". I see that a minute after the creation of this article, the creator removed a rather important paragraph, part of which I quote:
Does anyone want to start a discussion on this, or should I take it on myself to make the changes and see what happens? WesT ( talk) 23:06, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
Actually I disagree with the statement that federal resume must be no less than 3 or 5 pages. Lately I found a blog with the quite useful article on the matter: https://federalresumeguide.com/how-to-write-a-federal-resume/. It overthrows the myth of resume meant to be 5 pages long. Official USAJOBS source also gives the following explanation: “A federal resume requires more information than a civilian resume; therefore, it is typically longer than two pages.” Here’s the link for checking: https://www.usajobs.gov/Help/working-in-government/myths/resumes-should-not-exceed-two-pages/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.191.178.84 ( talk) 10:13, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
