I was about to say… resume? What’s a resume?

I wrote one for a gig a few years ago (which you and I discussed Web) that I 
didn’t end up taking… otherwise it’s pretty much word of mouth and other social 
interactions. What we used to call “networking”. ☺ Before we had “social 
graphs” and “work graphs” blah blah blah. ☺

I always tell people my most current resume is LinkedIn.  I keep that 
up-to-date as I complete a worthy project, certification, course, speaking gig, 
etc.  I may be lucky (or fortunate) but I rarely get asked for a resume any 
more.  I get most gigs nowadays via networking, my blog, Twitter, LinkedIn and 
Facebook.  Only cold callers ask for a resume now.

Yes, I was going to say … many people seem to use LinkedIn as an ongoing public 
resume … includes job history, education, skills, etc. Seems pretty complete.

They all look about the same to me. Some people just submit the PDF export from 
LinkedIn I’m finding, which works just fine for me.



Thanks,

An odd question to ask the group.

But what do resumes look like these days?

I haven’t had to use one for my last 2 jobs and was wondering if they have 
changed in format or style.

Thanks!
