Anything past 2-3 pages and I won't read it.

Resumes are written for AI these days, not us.

That's fine if all the real content is in the first couple of pages and the keyword soup is clearly marked as such.

Edit: I forgot to mention that's just my opinion, and I don't read a lot of resumes these days. I think the real thing to remember is that at some point your resume is going to be read by a human being, and you don't want to piss them off by making a tedious job even harder.

That’s not a bad idea, I’ve been told that the hidden keyword soup is generally looked down upon, but I guess you could just make it visible.

Nope, because the automated pre-filter won’t even be able to understand it and will reject it outright.
