Do Follow the 5/5/5 rule. To keep your audience from feeling overwhelmed, you should keep the text on each slide short and to the point. Some experts suggest using the 5/5/5 rule: no more than five words per line of text, five lines of text per slide, or five text-heavy slides in a row.
Edit:
Oops, I read presentation though it clearly says Resume. I would say no more than 1.5 lines, two at most - better for them to ask questions about something than have them skip it becuause its too long
2 lines per bullet point and probably no more than 5 bullet points if you can help it. I have a resume template that I devised for b-school applicants and students that I devised from my days as a resume coach at the Stanford Business School: it's at this link, under "free download" http://admittedmba.com/downloads/index.php
If you feel like you need to place a period within the text to break it up, it's probably too much for one bullet
Cumque ut quo odit cupiditate recusandae. Reiciendis possimus et qui sint. Eos ratione saepe ab aut.
