In today's job market, many hiring managers require a resume for applicants. However, there are several ways to get your foot in the door without having a resume. It all comes down to how persuasive you can be.
Hiring managers want to know why you're the best applicant for the job. Because resumes aren't always required, you can impress them with your abilities and passion for the position instead of listing irrelevant information that doesn't relate to why you are the best candidate for the job.
Do your research on the company's culture and expectations prior to applying. Hiring managers will notice if you've taken more than a few minutes to look at their website or social media page, so make sure that you're providing specific details on what they're looking for.
Try expressing personal interest in the company by showing how well you understand their mission and values. By establishing yourself as someone who fits into their company culture, they'll be more likely to overlook any gaps on your resume.
If you have no previous experience with the industry or don't have a college degree relevant to the position, emphasize your other strengths that might not be reflected on your resume: an impressive portfolio of projects, volunteer experience, or personal connections that could benefit their company.
