What's coming, right now
People are prisoners of their résumés (or lack thereof):
They’re made to think resumes are the definitive statements of what they can do—or whom they could become (Yes, it’s extremely demoralizing, think about it!)
Companies make critical decisions based on resumes, as if they capture true value/potential or foretell what one could become (Companies that want to not fall behind must make better decisions!)
Young people, who have no experience and therefore have got "nothing to put on their resumes”, are considered useless (Guess what? No experience means you won’t be able to get any. You see where it’s going?)
The resume-as-a-prison is a very bad loop.
It's bad for people.
It's bad for business.
It's bad for the economy.
It’s bad for the future.
Let's not forget that resumes are just a string of text.
And let’s also remember that 100 years ago resumes included things like weight (can you believe it?), height, marital status, and religion (God forbid!).
Would you want to have these on your resume?
Would you want to make decisions using such information?
Clearly not.
We want change. We need change.
It’s why we invented the Skills Wallet.
