Guys, I think you can give this site a try: www.lookbeyondresumes.com . They apparently hate resumes too. Seemed different enough.

Come to think of it, I know exactly what you mean! I'm a software guy but that's hardly the only thing I do. I do sales and marketing as well! My resume seems confused!

"Hi,
Interesting that you should post a comment like this. Google ""look beyond resumes"" and the site that comes up is what I'm currently working on. We faced a similar issue like yours and we decided to try and take a crack at changing this.
What we've done is completely abandon the classical ""resume"" and we're trying to get a sense of the person even before we make a call or an interview.
It has helped immensely in getting us the right set of people.
And what's more, we've identified that hiring that is driven by skills and experience is just not working any more. It's how you groom someone who aligns with your vision that matters. "

I'm a kind of person who is great at doing a lot of different kinds of things. I find writing a resume for myself particularly irritating as it can't showcase who I am at the workplace. Anyone know of other ways to find me a job?
