I agree with the others - two printed pages should be the maximum, and be sure to list your skills in a summary box. Scanning if you can do C#, JavaScript and some Perl without reading descriptions is a big plus.
But, in my view, the most important part is the cover letter. If I take the time to write a personal letter for a particular job that I am actually interested in and explain why I fit this particular situation, then I get a far higher rate of response. I have been lucky enough (thus far) to apply for jobs whilst having one, which allows for confidence (but not arrogance) to surface in the cover letter, and for me, it's worked extremely well to write sharp, detailed, unique and intelligent correspondence.

I thought I had a pretty good resume after I completed it. Just about two pages long. I've had many recruiters reach out and I would submit it to them. I always thought to myself that I hoped to have all the keywords to help me land a new position along with a detail description of projects I've worked on. I've had friends and colleagues review my resume, but I never had a professional resume writer review it. So recently, I had one done on a site called Top Resume. They did a very nice job critiquing my resume. There were many things that I didn't have on my resume that I should. Keywords that are being missed when employers are searching for them. I think it's worth to have a resume writer review and critique your resume (It's free). Then decide to pay the $100-$200 to have a pro write it for you. It could be an investment towards the job you're looking for.

waiting for me to let him in. He has been doing this for 12+ years now.
Would you wait at a door, for an indefinite period of time, for someone to let you in? I know I would not.
Anyhow, it is a good thing he is not a lion or tiger, for I fear that I would have been a meal, a long time ago.

Nope, and I wouldn't let my cat wait for hours in front of the door either. Get a cat flap[^] goddammit!

No can do. We have wild critters in the area that will come into your house (fox, raccoon, squirrel, etc.)
Also, he is an "in and out" cat. If you let him control you, then you will be letting him in and out of the house, at least 25 times a day.

There are cat flaps that will let only some animals in. Some work with a small badge that can be attached to the collar, and if he doesn't like wearing a collar, there are others that can read the chip under the skin and let only specific chip marked animals in.
Because he IS chipped, RIGHT?
I'm not sure if the one I posted an image of is either one, but less will do as well...

And? Actually it's extremely unlikely that they'll use a catflap but if they do I'd rather that than having them creeping in somewhere I didn't even know there was a hole and revealing themselves only after they've set up a colony!

Yes. That's your job! Are you sure you've passed your feline care licence?

Mine taps on the window and meows to be let in the front door.
Then walks through the house and out his cat flap in the back door...

Dij just wants attention from you. That's why he makes you open the door for him
Go pet him for a while

Mine does the exact same thing.. In one door and right to the other to be let out.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Most of the time I let the cats in (I have 4) when they tap on the front door. However, they often stay out over-night, and are waiting for me to let them in, in the early morning. Who knows how long they have been waiting to come in.

Oh, that's where my cat goes during the day, at your home!

Mine just meows to go out of the back door. Catflap? That's only for when I'm not there to open the door.
Yup, I'm meowned.

That all depends on who that "someone" is.

Cats live by a complicated schedule. For every time of day (or night) they go to a specific place for a particular purpose. They hate any obstacles that keep them from being on schedule.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"No, from Canada."

Yes. Provided:
1. Am sure that they would let me in, within reasonable time.
2. Am guaranteed of food, milk; and of being cuddled / caressed.

Premise: my home has a inner garden surrounded by a fence, surrounded by a plot which is itself fenced.
My cat is able to wait several ours on the gate between the inner and outer garden (a gate that he easily jumps over due to purposefully placed obstacles) even when he knows there's noone at home... after then he jumps off and goes to the other side. Lazy son of a kitten.

Just because he's not doesn't mean you're off the hook.
