2. there is little place for traditional resumes in modern job-searching.

3. why?

13. nobody has 5+ years experience anymore

14. because we change careers often.

15. there is a deficit between what we want to do and what we have done.

16. a traditional resume is not enough to get you over the line.

17. there needs to be a change.

18. so, instead of providing a document of all the things we have done.

19. why not provide a document of all the things we can do.

20. pitch for work.
