Mine is one page and a half. I Guess there is no limitation. So long as you make it interesting and attactive, it will be good.

A page is always safe.
Less than a page, they might think u dont have anything to say ,
more than a page, it might get boring
a page,..u can't go wrong

one page to just slightly over a page, never longer than that unless you have a lot to say or can make it very very interesting.

Try to keep it to one page. Those reviewing files have lots of files to read.
