One page resume for Columbia J-School?

[GwenWoods]

As it stands my resume currently fits onto two pages perfectly, but Columbia says they would prefer a one-page resume. Should I just list my relevant experience in a skeleton-like format, and then embellish on my skills and responsibilities in those jobs in my SOP (or what they call a professional essay).

What do you think is best to include? Education, obviously, awards, work experience. What about volunteer work outside the field, or a condensed list of skills?

EX. Professional Essay description

Essay B: Professional essay (750-word limit)

What led you to your interest in journalism? What experience, if any, do you have in journalism? What do you hope to gain through your work at the Graduate School of Journalism? In addition, this is an opportunity to explain any strengths or weaknesses in your application. Examples: career changes, great journalism or life experiences, low GPA, lack of experience and/or interruption in work or studies.

Any other tips for grad school resumes?
