I get a bunch that are two pages or more and have found myself scanning the resume for key words rather than reading the whole thing. That is for entry level jobs, my industry is small enough that personal recommendations count for a lot more with a seasoned employee.
I think the mission statement on the top is really important and should be customized for every position being applied for. I discount a resume pretty quick if their objective sounds like they have no idea what they are applying for.
