A candidate must survive two phases - the initial resume triage, and the 
subsequent review and interview process. Hence, after one graduates from 
the 1 page resume, one should send out one-pagers edited to fit the 
opening's requirements, and should provide the real, long resume during 
any subsequent communication.
