Is a resume really that important?

Absolutely. Even in this age of social media and networking, it all comes down to what's on those pieces of paper you send to companies every time you apply for a job.

For instance, if you're applying for a public relations position, at say, a college or university, employers want to see relevant experience, not just that simply performed multiple duties at a current or previous position.  Also, employers want to see the commitment, hard work, not to mention the work ethic you've demonstrated at the places you've worked at before.
