Mike Bergman at SBC Voices questions the current resume’ system. Although I do not completely agree with the article, I found the article thought-provoking. Here is an excerpt:
You can’t really get to know a person through a resume and a handful of meetings. Not to mention the fact that some (many?) committees focus on the wrong things off the resume such as education, marital status, and experience (it’s amazing how often churches know from the start that God’s man is not a single dude with no seminary training and no prior pastoral experience. It reminds me of a resume I once saw of a young man who was married but fell into the other two categories. He had on his resume: “I’m just looking for somebody to give me a chance.” It’s sad that we have to think that way).
I can resonate with the above statement. I don’t know how many times I’ve thought about telling search committees that I’m just looking for someone to give me a chance; especially in my younger days. You can read the rest of this thought-provoking article here.
