Don't make your resume 5 pages long unless you've been in the industry for like 20 years at several jobs and have lots of experience.
I just read through a 5-page resume for a new grad. Holy moly. She could have fit the same information on two pages with better formatting, and could have had a one page resume if she didn't include all sorts of irrelevant stuff. For example, you don't need to list every single class you took in college and every project you did for every class. You also don't need to list internships you were offered but didn't take.
Hopefully this person's general skills are better than her resume-writing skills.
