My suggestion would be to set up at job agents that notify you as soon as a new job is listed, then you can apply much quicker.

My recommendation is if you are just out of school or starting out in your career that you keep it to 1 page. Mid to Senior level professionals should absolutley have 2 pages. If your resume is written well, you should never need more than 2 pages.

Is your resume current? It's a smart idea to always have your resume up to date. You never know when a new opportunity will arise and you will want to be ready to share it.
