In 2009 I posted my resume to one of those websites, thinking little of it. I'd recently been fired and had wound down my savings. I thought at worse I'd get offers I wasn't interested in and at the time really, I needed anything.
My friends, without ever having applied for a single job, having no sales plastered all over that resume, and it being now 15 years out of date, I still get the occasional cold call for an outside 10-99 sales position based on that resume and that resume alone.
I have, in that time, been fired from two more call centers, finished school, found an offline job, decided that office work wasn't for me, gone back to school, started a career in the trades, and found my tribe.
