There are many career professionals that suggest that resumes aren’t really needed when looking for a job. Let’s consider the reasons that resumes may not be good job searching tools. First of all, resumes don’t do a good job of getting you an interview. Other methods, such as networking are far more effective. Secondly, some jobs don’t require resumes. Employers seeking to fill office, managerial, professional, and technical positions often want the details of your experience provided in a resume. But for many jobs, particularly some entry-level, trade, or unskilled positions, resumes typically aren’t required. Simply completing an application is all that’s needed. Thirdly, some job search methods exclude resumes from the process. Many people get jobs without using a resume at all. In most cases, these people get interviews because they are known to the employer or are referred by someone the employer knows. In these situations, a resume might help but the employer might not even ask for it.
These arguments lead us to a couple of conclusions. The first is by understanding that a resume has a limited role on the impact of getting a job it can lead us to appreciate that there are more things within the job searching process that we must focus on the achieve success. The second thing we must understand is that since we don’t know when a resume is needed or when a recruiter or interviewer will ask for one it becomes imperative that we not only have one but several resumes readily available. And letting our skills and experience culminate onto a piece of paper it just not enough. We must strategically and systematically include the relevant and appropriate information on each resume we create for each job we are interested in. By doing this we are more likely to be considered for each job we apply for.
