Your resume has to accomplish a lot in this economy. It needs to speak in the right language, it needs to tell the story of your personal brand and it needs to focus on the right thing (hint: it’s not you or your work history).

If your resume fails to do pass one of these steps, you will get rejected.
The job search process can certainly cause an excess amount of clutter. Searching, applying, tracking, and networking your job skills can be stressful when you’re on the hunt for a job. It doesn’t always take a personal assistant, website, or online application to make the job search more organized.

However, a smart alternative is called the one page business proposal. It takes a combination of hard work and the willingness to fail.
