But I would've done it.One more thing I'd like to say to the general population; I'm not sure who made the first statement about resume length that has twisted and turned into "a resume should be no more than 2 pages," but it's not true.
If you have the experience to justify 3, 4 or maybe even 5 pages (now we're getting a little long), then go ahead use the extra pages. Just make sure it's easy to scan and review quickly, and that you haven't tried to answer any question that you think might be asked about your background, ever. Use bullets, bold, italics, and break up the dizzying, intimidating pages of text so it's visually appealing.
That is all.
No offense but only useful concentrations in business are finance and accounting, and also the most competitive. Studying other craps like HR, Management, etc. are bullshit as they aren't even technical (not something you learn by reading books). I've seen plenty of ppl graduating from Marketing end up selling cell phones. Of course though, if you are in the top, any concentrations will do.
It took me about a week to put together a half decent resume, and I've been updating it ever since. Theres a huge difference in, "hey I'm making a resume for some retail job" then say "hey I need a resume for my career".
Go to your schools career development centre. Not only will they have tons of samples, they'll also review the document and give you constructive feedback.

Seriously, if you can graduate from college than you should easily be able to go on the 'webz (or just into ms word ffs), find a resume template, and cater it to your liking.
Does your mom still wash your undies? If you're looking for a big boy job you should certainly have no issue doing this simple task. This sounds like you need somebody to hold your hand, which will get you nowhere in the business world.
Maybe I'm being a little mean, but I think this is a step of growing up and inflection where seniors needs to spend a solid amount of time and attention. I can remember multiple trips to the career services office at my university to get help in resume revisions...
