For every great job there is hundreds or even thousands of applications, and if your application doesn't stand out then it will end up in the trash along with dozens of others. It's your resume, together with your cover letter, that lands you the interview you need.
Your resume tells that important person making the decisions about your skills, qualifications and job history. Will your resume cut it so that you get the interview, or will yours go in the trash in favor of someone else with a better resume and letter?
