I've been reworking my resume, too.
My current one is one page. I passed it on to a buddy who was canned so he could use it as a template.
He modeled his after mine and was told by HR people and recruiters that received it that his resume needed to be longer and more detailed. It's harder than hell to squeeze 16 years of experience on to one page (at least in my field).
Never had an 'Objective' statement on mine.
I'm redoing mine so that the resume holds all of the details I think the employer is looking for. I don't care how many pages it ends up being but I don't anticipate it going over two pages.
