Absolutely, it’s not always just the CD who looks at them. Sometimes it’s account people, strategists etc. It’s just good to have one ready as needed

Not required, but good to have. Some places may ask for it. Just keep a resume button in your about me section.

Ive never “handed in a resume” at any of my 10 or so agencies / jobs. I’ve only ever had it on my website in the about me/ Education / experience section.

Is it the case here?
