According to a report by The Conference Board Help-Wanted OnLine Data Series, there are over 10 million more unemployed individuals than the amount of job posting vacancies. And the only thing more ominous to job-seekers than gloomy job-market statistics is in most cases, one simple piece of paper stands between them and their dream job.
Unavoidable and incredibly limiting, resumes only offer a one-page litany of job history, accolades and achievement. While important, those brief details don’t provide employers the information necessary to make an educated decision or an applicant the room to demonstrate why they are the best-suited canidate.
Resumes force applicants to say “This is what I’ve done” instead of “This is what I can do.” And while that may provide the employer the answer to “Are they hirable?”, it does not answer “Is this person right for us?”
For everyone involved, hiring sucks.
