How to fit your resume on one page
Body 10.5-11 pt | Margins 0.5-0.75 in | Line spacing 1.0-1.15
1. Remove the objective and replace it with a 2-line summary, or drop it entirely if space is tight.
2. Cut hobbies, declaration, references, full address and personal details like date of birth and marital status.
3. Trim bullets: 3-5 for your current role, 2-3 for earlier roles, 1-2 for internships. Delete duties and keep results.
4. Merge skills into 2-3 grouped lines instead of a long vertical list.
5. Shorten education to degree, institution, year and score. Drop school marks unless they're asked for.
6. Only now adjust layout: margins to 0.5-0.75 inch and body font to 10.5-11 pt. Don't go below 10 pt.
7. Check the last line: if one line spills to page two, rewrite a long bullet rather than squeezing spacing.
