Resume rhymes with “go away”.
Get post on multiple levels. Everyone who is in a position to make a great deal knows the stars in their world or at least recognizes a rising star when one emerges.
JT, I thought Seth Godin really hit it. I know that Recruiting wants resumes because they process large numbers, but what you say is right…stars and rising stars should be known.
I wonder how to make the “no resume” idea real. I suppose it starts with the killer “personal marketing” letter. (Penelope Trunk talked about that very nicely in Brazen Careerist.)
Interesting to think that a resume can be a landmine that can eliminate a person. And it can work both for “too little experience” and for “too big titles.” Hmmm….i’m going to keep plowing this ground.
Resume rhymes with “Hey!” It has to be written so that it catches the attention of the reader.
