They are not.
That "one page" rule of thumb has to do with how easy it is for the time-constrained reader to find relevant information in the document, not with cramming everything into a single page.
It is perfectly fine to detail your apprenticeship at X and your 3 years of experience in Y in further pages as long as those are mentioned on the first page.
If some critical info can _only_ be found on page 2 or 3, then it doesn't exist.
