Why this topic matters

One of the biggest myths about resumes is that they're supposed to get you a job. Your resume is your primary marketing tool to secure job interviews. It's your opportunity to introduce yourself professionally before you ever walk into an interview. In just a page or two, it tells a story about who you are, what you've accomplished, and the value you could bring to an organization.
