Depending on the length of time you have spent at each job. If there are any jobs that were on your resume that you had, to just fill in time, in between two more important jobs, delete those first. These generally don't mean much and are useless to put on a resume. I generally go back approximately 6-7 years in general as that is usually how far an employer will look, (with the exception of a bank they look 10 years.) I would start from any job you have had as of 2000, this gives your employers ample amount of information on your background and should hopefully lessen your resume length. Hope that helps. Good luck with the interview

Short and sweet is a good rule when it comes to resumes. Remember that the person interviewing you doesn't want to spend a lot of time searching for your relevant info.
A good source of info is Careerkit.blogspot.com They also have some good links.
Good luck on the interview

Typical business standard is to show your work history going back 10 years. (You can go more than one page if necessary)
