I struggle to see why asking for a resume is not appropriate. If you are interested in joining, you should tell them what your skills and areas of experience are.

Any serious applicant would have one on file to send off. Now, if they asked for a cover letter and a five-step interview process, that's different.

Yeah fuck that shit. Unpaid internship, no thanks.

Wow this is so stupid.

I thought the Threadiverse would be better than Reddit, but this is even worse.

Forgive me for asking but why is asking for a résumé for a job position stupid? Or have I misunderstood? My apologies if so.

asking for a résumé for a job

It's not a job.

Here we go, another one getting hive downvoted.

Personally, I would call it a volunteer position, not a job.

I think the issue is that it's not actually a job as there is no pay involved.
