I've only peaked at about 50 resumes to filter through, but I'd have
to disagree a little (so obviously this is completely arbitrary and up
to the individual reviewer).  However, if you are fresh out of college
or school or have *very* little experience, and send me a 2 page
resume (or more as sometimes was the case) it's not going to be
received well.  The only people who can be taken seriously with more
than one page are those who have been around for a few years and have
done many things.
