RESUME - HOW TO LIST "ALL" ON ONE PAGE??? (Score 1)

I was a contractor also but really found it hard to list every assignment on my resume for i would have jobs to list doing short-term jobs. I have a permanent gig now and it's good to have insurance for medical benefits and good to have life insurance to take care of the burial. (For those who don't have a prepaid plan.) For those people was contract on a regular basis, can you tell how to list the multiple jobs on your resume without it becoming a short novel?
