I was also told something similar by a career counselor at my college.
I've been getting interviews, so I guess my resume is alright, but better safe than sorry.
Feel free to reply for pricing
That said ... resumes are 65-70% "reality" and 30-35% "dark magic"
Every country is different (I can really only speak well to US, Singapore, and maybe Canada & Great Britain) in their expectations
And even inside a given country, some industries are different from others - ran into this a few months ago personally where I was asked for a highly-customized resume (which, in general, I think (and have observed) is incredibly bad advice) for a very specific role
I maintain a single resume for 'everyone' - https://warrenmyers.com/resume.pdf (which ... happens to be slightly out of date)
I focus on my experience that I want to be asked about (and deprecate/hide experience I do not wish to be asked about)
I keep my last few years' experience on the first page, along with [relevant] things I have written, core competencies, certifications, and education (though ... that should probably move to page 2 (or later) for me (since I finished my most-recent degree 17+y ago))
