The system accepts 16,000 characters, which is equivalent to about 6-9 typed pages of information. If your résumé is very long, you should consider removing any extraneous spacing in order to maximize the amount of space available to you. You may use the “Check resume length” button to verify that your resume isn’t too long. Q: The word count feature on my word processor says my resume is one length, but OARS says it’s much longer. A: The 16,000 character limit in OARS includes spaces in the count. Most popular word processing packages (Word, WordPerfect, AmiPro) give a character count based on only non-space characters, which accounts for the difference in counting. Because spaces count against the 16,000 character limit you should format your resume so that all extraneous spaces are eliminated.
This question is often asked by many students. I suggest you check my blog to find out more information about character counting. If you use this handy program when writing an essay, then you will know exactly the number of words contained in your text.
I recommend you to enter that text on a website that can calculate how long is that. I had to write an essay of 25k characters and I reached 17600, but I thought I already have like 30k. I entered a website and there it showed me the real number of the characters. Well, I was disappointed but it helped me finishing that essay faster and I am happy I was aware of the number of the characters with that. I would use Word, but I was tapping in my phone that essay because it is way more easier for me.
This is quite an interesting question. To be honest, I never thought about it. In any case, it will be useful for you to consult Howly experts. These guys will be able to give the exact answer to your question.
