Why do I need a Resume?  How important is it to my job hunt?
-Looking for Results, Los Angeles

The resume is meant as a way to introduce yourself to a company or individual.  It is an introduction to who you are and what your skills are.  Most people do NOT get jobs from their resume alone. While a resume is a part of the job hunting tool, it should not be relied on to be a means to an end.  I often hear people complaining that they send out lots of resumes every day and get no results.  Networking is the best way to find a job.
