1. Make sure you spell available correctly, HR frowns on spelling mistakes
2. Usually, it’s ok to put “References available on requests,” at the end of the resume. However, it will save HR time (and put them in a better mood) if you put 1 contact down, followed by “Additional references upon request.” Otherwise, a separate reference page is good too.
3. 2 pages is acceptable. Mine is 3 pgs, but only because the 3rd page is a reference sheet. Try to use bullets and/or bold and have a sense of organization. If your 1 pg resume looks like a solid block of text, it’s not very easy to skim, and will most likely be rejected. Therefore, if it looks better, stretch it on to 2 pages (include page numbers and headers if applicable)



P.S. I'm not an HR person, they're probably the best to ask. Just experienced in the whole resume writing thing
