Do people read resumes anymore?

It’s interesting - that all the profiles ask - and my kids have to put it in.

The job my daughter has this summer - she listed a Nashville address but the job saw College of Charleston and first thing they asked is - do you live in South Carolina?

Now she is doing the Washington Program in the fall - and she said a lot of jobs ask - are you able to relocate or commute to Washington, D.C. to meet the in-person demand of the jobs. I’m sure they’re used to people coming in for a semester - but they’ll see a TN address.

She has that she’ll be in the program and available for full-time work in her cover letter but are they read?

She’s got two interviews and a writing test - so her efforts are finally starting to pay off (hopefully). Of course, two of them are no pay.

But both my kids didn’t put their address for a different reason - which is they just had no space.
