I can certainly read my resume, before I send it out.
I ace interviews all the time. I have to rely on memory at every interview. In most of my interviews, they ask situational questions.
Tell us about a situation, where you ......
Can you give us a specific example of when you .....?
Tell us about a time, where you had worked for weeks on a project only to have it canceled? How did you handle it?
I still got the job offers, even though these scenarios were not on the resume.
