I was being tongue-in-cheek. I’m an independent consultant. I don’t go through HR. Sometimes I go through purchasing, who tries to beat me up on my hourly rate, but not HR. ☺

A lot of businesses still consider it necessary prior to the interview process. All resumes here flow through HR before they even hit the manager’s desk.

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. ☺ From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Webster Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2014 10:37 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] RE: IT resumes? 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.

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!
