Back in the '90s, building an online resume was something you took a semester-long class to learn how to do (and got three credit hours!). Today, it takes about 5 minutes to make an online resume.

If your resume isn't online, then it's not available to the billions of people across the world, millions of whom are hiring right now. How can you sleep at night knowing that you're not in consideration for that sheepherding job in Mongolia? Or that modeling job in Iceland? Or that security job in Iraq? Get your hat in the ring, fool.
