But what to take out?
I've heard from hiring managers that the one-page resume is a bunch of crap. If you have the experience put it on there and don't make it look like crap squishing it together.
My underestanding is for most jobs and careers you want one page. However, some fields it is accepted and even expected to have a much longer resume. For instance I work as a chemist and in the science field (real science, not your computer science stuff ) with your work experience and/or college research, instrumentations, R&D, quantitative analysis, published stuff - you can get a pretty hefty resume. I have heard about post docs have a 20 page resume. Usually, though, they are no longer really called resumes at that point and are referred to as a vitae.
Since you are a recent grad and are just entering the workplace, if you have more than one page - to me at least - that just says you are trying to find stuff to squeeze in to make it longer.
