I had lots of interest with a 2 page resume but found restricting myself to 1 page forced me to hit the high notes and focus on what message I want to send.

I found this necessary when an employer put me through a 5 hour interview for a web developer position. I thought I was applying for a research position but someone saw web experience in my ancient history and lined up the interviewers to steer things that way. Granted I was offered the research position later, still... the interview would have benefited by skipping the web stuff.

Also there is something to be said for making them want more.
