The one-page resume rule is officially behind the curve.

A 2026 survey found that 68 percent of HR professionals prefer a two-page resume for experienced candidates over a cramped one-page version.

Good news for anybody with more than five years of experience, anybody who took a non-linear path, anybody who switched industries, anybody who had to explain a career break.

Use the space the role earns. Every line still has to earn its place. Two pages is permission, not an obligation.

To the founder who quietly knows where their last three Fridays went.

You did not start your business to become the unpaid recruiter for a job you wish somebody else was doing.

The gap is not effort. The gap is leverage. The cost of every missed reply, every duplicate outreach, every forgotten candidate, compounds against the time you actually have.

Give yourself one Friday back this month.

If you bought a beautifully designed resume template from one of the freelance marketplaces, here is information you need.

Resume formatting research from 2026 finds that complex visual design is the number one reason a CV fails to parse correctly in an Applicant Tracking System. Multi-column layouts, sidebars, decorative icons, header graphics, and unusual fonts all reduce the chance that the system reads your work history in the order you wrote it.

The template that looks impressive on your laptop screen is often the one that arrives at the recruiter as a scrambled wall of text.

The rule that holds up across every parser: one column. One simple font. Clear section headings. Standard bullet points. The visual hierarchy that helps a human eye scan is the same hierarchy the parser is looking for.

Spark Careers builds CVs in the format that passes parsers, then lets you customize the wording per role. The plain version is the version that gets through.

A specific number for restaurant, retail, and hospitality operators.

US restaurants alone are projected to hire about 490,000 seasonal workers this summer. The pattern is consistent: hire a lot of people fast through informal channels, with very limited time per applicant.

The operators who do this well do not have better candidates than you. They have better systems. One place where every applicant lands, including the walk-ins.

83 percent of companies are expected to use AI for resume screening by the end of 2026.

The first reader of your CV in most applications is now software. The software wants explicit keyword matches. The human, who reads after, wants a specific person who did specific things.

The trap is writing for one and ignoring the other. The fix is a structural rewrite of the top of your CV per role, with keywords baked into language a real person uses.

That work takes 20 minutes by hand. Spark Careers does it in 5. https://spark.risepointcareers.com/

The latest JOLTS report has a quiet line in it. Job openings at small businesses (1 to 49 employees) rose for the second consecutive month.

The problem with a turning market is not finding candidates. It is the inbox that fills up faster than your spreadsheet can hold.

The founders who tooled up while it was quiet are about to look very smart. Spark Careers Enterprise was built for the version of hiring you actually do.

Feature Friday: the ATS match score.

Upload your resume and a job description. Spark shows you how well they line up, which keywords are missing, and where you can improve before you apply.

Most applications are filtered before a recruiter reads them. The match score gives you a better chance of passing through that filter.

Try it on your current resume.

You are posting jobs, screening candidates, running first-round calls, and managing the rest of the business at the same time. That split focus has a real cost.

Spark Careers Enterprise is built for this. A lightweight hiring pipeline for teams where the founder is still close to recruitment. Easy to set up, easy to keep current, and designed to move as fast as you do.
