I usually read resumes.

I do not care about resumes.

If I get on the phone with you because of your cover letter and haven't read your resume, I will probably never read your resume.

Regardless of whether I ever look at your resume, it's very unlikely to have any impact on our hiring process. We use practical tests and, to a much lesser extent, 1:1 interviews on concepts; the practical tests have been so valuable that we're moving towards doing more of them and less subjective interviews.

Your resume fits almost nowhere in this process.
