To be honest, I'm not sure I'd be comfortable working with a manager who places more priority on format than on content....are there also any fonts that make you not read a resume? is my resume good if I use Arial, but not Helvetica? What other types of documents do managers such as yourself not read because they don't meet an arbitrary page length standard? As a part of policy, do you ignore Functional Specs if they're over a certain page length? Do you not review department deliverables if they exceede some page length? I'm sure with enough effort, any Functional or Technical spec can be brought down to two pages...of course, it wouldn't say much about the project. Where did this 2-page standard come from, anyway? Is the person behind a 2 page resume also automatically a more qualified writer than one with a 3 page resume? John Posada Senior Technical Writer "They say everyone needs goals.
