While recruiters and hiring managers want to see enough work history to understand the depth of your experience, there is no need to list every job you’ve ever had, or the jobs from your distant past have no relevance to what you’re looking to do right now.
In your case, since you want to move to a department in which you work with students, you may want to list positions in which the skills you learned can be transferred to the position you are applying to. Here is a guide on how you can use your cover letter to highlight your transferable skills from previous work experience.
Aim for a one-page resume, but if all of your older roles critically relate to the job you’re going after, extend your resume to two pages. Definitely do not try to cram more than 10-15 years of experience into a single page resume.
