If you have a 2-page resume, can you print it out double-sided because I want to save paper.
You can, yes.
If you really want it to be read, though, you'll get it all on one side of one page!

Scroll down and read about resumes.
Also, is it okay to print it double-sided to your potential employer or they won't accept that?
A potential employer will accept any resume. The big question, as Writeacher noted, is whether she will actually read it.
One-page resumes have a much better chance of being read than longer resumes.
You would need to check with the individual potential employer. Some will; others won't. The point is that, usually, what you don't get onto that first side won't get read. They have too many to read, and they will not read them carefully until maybe they're down to the five or six they decide to interview.
And if there are any errors at all, it'll go into the "round file" right then. Make sure it's perfect.
On the second page of my resume, it only takes up at least one-third of the page anyways. That should be fine. Thanks!
Yes, you can absolutely print a 2-page resume double-sided to save paper. Printing double-sided allows you to utilize both sides of the paper, reducing the overall number of pages you need. To print your resume double-sided, follow these steps:
1. Open the document: Open your resume in a word processing software like Microsoft Word or Google Docs.
2. Check page layout: Ensure that your document is formatted correctly, with all necessary sections and information properly organized on each page. Make any necessary adjustments.
3. Access printer settings: Go to the "Print" menu by clicking on "File" and then selecting "Print." Alternatively, you can press Ctrl + P (Cmd + P on a Mac) as a shortcut to open the print settings.
4. Set print options: Look for the printer settings or preferences based on your specific printer model. Look for an option called "Duplex" or "Print on Both Sides." Check the box or select the appropriate option.
5. Configure duplex settings: Some printers may ask you to choose the flip direction or binding side. Typically, it's set to "Long Edge" for portrait orientation and "Short Edge" for landscape orientation. Choose the appropriate option based on the layout of your resume.
6. Print the document: Click the "Print" button to start printing your double-sided resume. Make sure to load enough blank paper into the printer tray.
7. Check the output: Once printed, verify that the pages are aligned correctly and there are no missing or smudged text. If necessary, you may need to adjust the printer settings or repeat the printing process.
By following these steps, you can efficiently print your 2-page resume double-sided, reducing paper usage while still presenting your qualifications effectively.
