Dont Hire Me Because on My Resume - CareerEnlightenment.com

A resume also doesn’t give you the opportunity to express your core values the way a blog can. If a potential employer spent some time digging through the content on my blog they would get quite a bit of insight into my core values.   While this would probably rule out certain people from ever hiring me, it would also ensure the ones that would hire me identify with my values. It narrows down your pool of opportunities to the ones that are ideal for you.Finally a resume doesn’t provide tangible evidence of your skills. A successful blog on the other hand can demonstrate great communication skills, initiative, creativity, and your ability to market yourself.   Regardless of what field you are going into these are valuable assets for a potential employer.When somebody is hiring for a social media job and says “send me your resume”   I have a tendency to cringe because I know that my resume can’t possibly give a hiring manager the insights my blog and podcast could give them.   So all I can say to the hiring managers of the world is simply this.Don’t hire me based on my resume!
