Do resumes even matter anymore at a certain position (director +) I feel like it’s all about the interview, presentation, actual experience and relationships. Who reads one piece of paper and makes a decision about a person?

Yes and No.
it matters for you to get an interview. You don’t want your resume to get discarded. It also gave an interviewer an impression about yourself. Think about it as a first impression before you make a first impression.

And no. Like you said, you still need to go through interviews, presentation and actual exp and relationships. A good resume doesn’t guarantee to get the job but it guarantees to get an interview.

Once you’ve reached a certain point, no. I’ve been recruited without a resume and through word of mouth.

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
