Resume

Who thought a resume would be the proper way to judge whether someone is qualified to work for their company? I don't understand how this piece of paper is supposed to contain enough information for someone to say "Eh," or "Wow this person would be a great fit." It needs to be short, but somehow explain all your relevant previous experience. It needs to stand out, but too much color doesn't look good (said a previous employer of mine). Somehow we have to condense our entire worklife story onto one side of an 8.5 x 11 inch piece of overpriced paper. So it can be looked at for an average of 7 seconds. It's ridiculous. With all the new technology available now, you would think resume's would have died out. Let's schedule a Skype video call, or let me email you a link to a Youtube video explaining what I'm about. Maybe then employers would be able to see something more than whats on that tiny piece of bitch paper and be able to make better choices in who they hire. It is 2010 right? And we still use resumes??
