Do you think resumes hinder you from finding work? ?

Question

Resumes are so impersonal. You fill out application at a kiosk and know one talks to you. A long time ago you dressed very nice if you were seeking employment. Currently it is only you and kiosk. Why dress up? I think you have a low chance of getting job, because know one talks with you. Your resume becomes a pile of c**p. Once they decide to hire, they pull last applications and friends.

Answer 1

Yes, that is true sometimes. It's frusterating.

Answer 2

True

Answer 3

It's not so much the resume, it's what they do with it.  In most cases, resumes are scanned into a database.  Then, when they need to fill a position, they search the database using key words.  If your resume doesn't contain the key words, it isn't spit out, regardless of your qualifications.  That's why the best way to find a job is through networking.
