In your field, at your age, go ten years, two pages or fewer, unless you did something before that which indicates to all who read it that sparks pretty much shoot out of your hiney. They do not need to know that you sold lemonade when you were 6 years old.

Spend less time on older or less relevant jobs. What you are doing now, have done recently and are currently certified to do is of more value than older things (except those sparks-from-the-hiney jobs).

Remember the average recruiter right now has a pile of resumes. Keep it short and brilliant. Be prepared to offer additional if and only if asked.
