My family and I are relocating to a new city/state to be closer to family so I've started my job search there and because I'm out of town my resume really does have to be perfect since the cards are stacked against me. Needless to say, I've found THE perfect sales job.

My experience is a little over 5 years (3 jobs) working on the products that this perfect position sells.

Military experience - which I have to keep on there since I still have my reserve duties monthly

prior to those jobs my experience was in retail SALES (store manager) for 6 years ( 2 jobs)

My problem is that when I'm listing my previous experience I run out of room on the first page of my resume at the very last position which would leave 4 years of experience on a 2nd page. This last job would be the ONLY thing on the 2nd page. I'm afraid that just leaving that final position on a 2nd page will make me loose 4 years of experience in sales that I think is going to be necessary to get this job.

How should I present my resume to keep it all on one page? Is there a way I can combine both of those positions since there were the same title and responsibilites just different companies?

Sameoldsong and Stijnhommes gave you great advice -- you can use a two-page format. You might be omitting important accomplishments if you try to squeeze your career accomplishments on one page. If your earliest sales job appears on the second page but you think you could lose credit for the experience, include a line on page 1's Qualifications Summary regarding the total number of years of sales experience that you have (e.g., "Sales manager offering 11 years of retail sales experience...).
