If you're applying for a specific position, a one page resume highlighting your specific skills and past projects pertaining to the job is a good idea. The time to elaborate on a past project or experience that is not directly relevant is the interview.

Remember how your resume is going to be treated (at least at a larger company). It is first going to go through a screener (a recruiter or even a keyword search), then it will go to someone technical on a team.

Always remember that the main point is to get the interview, that's it.

Also, please please proof read your resumes. I actually had a QA engineer with a spelling error on his resume.
