Yes it's nice to keep your resume to 1 page if you can, but don't go to extra-ordinary lengths, such as by using super tiny type. If you have significant experience, you'll probably need more than 1 page right? What you should avoid is having one full page with just a little bit of text on your second page. If you fill a third or less of the 2nd page, consider condensing to one page.
Ways to condense:
* Use a smaller point size, but not too small. A font size of 11-point is good.
* Narrow your margins. The margins in M.Word are set very wide by default. You can have margins as narrow as .75” all around and still have a nice-looking document.
* Many job seekers use a 2 column format with headings in the left-hand column. To conserve space, narrow or even eliminate the left-hand column and simply stack your headings on top of each part.
