My $0.02: The consultant's answer: It depends.
I keep two forms of my resume... a brief "2 pager" that sums up very briefly my jobs, skils, projects, education, etc... And I keep a 4-5 pager beast because frequently enough recruiters will read the 2-pager and tell me that it's too brief. I tend to agree that in my wanderings over 10 years, nobody has expected a 1 page resume from me - and more often I get flack of the 2 pager being to brief. If you're graduating from college, it should be 1 page... past that, it's depends. Last year when I was searching, I got tired of guessing which form was needed and I often sent both versions. Probably the better thing to do is feel out the situation and send the one that is the best match. Perhaps a rule of thumb is if it's a highly techy job, send the detailed one... and if it's a higher-level management job or consulting gig, send the briefer one. URLs... I don't really think it matters if you put them into the resume or not. Most of the apps I have worked on sit behind corporate firewalls or require logins and I can't release useful URLs to them anyway. I feel like if you've worked on an easy-to write website (eg: yahoo.com or newyorkride.org) and that website IS the company you have worked for then, sure list the URL. Otherwise, just describe the project. --Daniel
