Don't Need a Resume in my Field?
I don't see why I need a resume? I'm a waitor and used to work construction. No resume needed there either.
Years ago I worked installing dry wall and your right no need for that type of job. Half the guys were in and out of jail and weren't keen on advertising that. But now I work as a contractor and a kind of resume portfolio of locations comes in very handy.
I agree, not all jobs need a resume. Usually office type jobs. But I used to work as a waitor. At the higher end restraunts a resume gives you an opportunity to pre-empt those who are waiting for a job opening. I often got jobs because they had my resume and needed someone on a mmoments notice.
Please be sure to mention your industry in your blog post. Words like resume and interview are typically mentioned but others like freelance may not be. This makes it easier for others to search for their needs.
