The Resume is Dead
The Resume/CV is a dinosaur, and whilst this is not a popular concept in some sectors it is simply a fact.
The paper-based (or Word document) Resume/CV is being made redundant by electronic online sites such as LinkedIn and others.
The era of submitting your Resume/CV is over in a lot of sectors now, and will only grow over the next 3-5 years.
A candidate's online presence is everything. The ability to simply click a link to a person's resume/CV makes sense for HR managers who are constantly looking for productivity improvements in the recruitment process, and sites like LinkedIn currently assist in this regard.
A major problem for job seekers is that once your resume/CV is online it cannot be easily tailored to each particular job application. Nevertheless, it is happening now and any candidate who fails to align his/her resume/CV with their online presence is inviting confusion about their value statement to any potential employer.
Recruiters, hiring managers and employers are rapidly embracing new technological methods of sourcing and validating candidates...you need to change as well (and quickly).
Most job hiring assignments are now managed electronically by Application Tracking Systems (ATS)..."THE RESUME IS DEAD".
