Why bother having a resume
Seth Godin ponders the reason why folks simply send a resume with no cover letter for jobs. As Seth says and I am paraphrasing….Resumes are for chumps, you don’t get great jobs by simply a resume, you get a reason to go into the rejected pile…
Having a resume begs for you to go into that big machine that looks for relevant keywords, and begs for you to get a job as a cog in a giant machine. Just more fodder for the corporate behemoth. That might be fine for average folks looking for an average job, but is that what you deserve?
Good advice, basically to get a great job, just do something.
