Time to Ditch the Resume & “Embody” Greatness?

Imagine a world with no resumes. A hiring market where people aren’t judged by the superficial impressions given off by a single short document, but on their ability to actually “prove” that they’re highly capable in their field and capable of solving an employer’s problems.
