Pages:
First of all, we need to warn you that a perfect resume structure contains a maximum of 2 pages, it’s true, a resume of three pages or more is only considered by professionals with a long professional trajectory – and even then it should be very well analyzed.

Attention: Identification document numbers must not be entered, for your safety!
