1.5 pages CV?

[PlimptonWeld]

Currently, my CV in PDF form is around 1.5 pages with half a page blank at the end. Is it necessary to fill it out to the very end (2 pages) or is it better to have 1.5 pages of good relevant material?

Apologies for this basic question but I've heard varying advice, so would appreciate your thoughts!

I think it’s fine if it is one and a half pages. If it is just over one page, I recommend focusing of formatting and condensing it down to one page, but if there is a good half a page of content that is never going to be condensed down to 1 page, then one and a half pages is fine. I’d prefer this rather than the CV being unnecessarily bulked out

Once again, my gratitude for your wisdom, Jessica! Many thanks as always.
