Do a lot of employers still ask for resumes?
I haven't applied to a job in a while, but as a hiring manager, I usually just ask for their GitHub and LinkedIn, making the resume optional if it's more up to date than LinkedIn or the don't have LI.

Most companies (even megabanks) also have strict rules what you can and can't put on your linked in.
A resume is therefore crucial.
Fascinating! I hadn't heard this. Do those restrictions apply to resumes too, and are just harder to enforce? Or are they actually LI only restrictions?
> so most of GHs for people are empty.
Oh, to be clear, I don't ding anyone for having an empty GH. There are lots of reasons not to maintain one. I just like to see it if they do.
Standard Resume gives you a web resume, in addition to the PDF. The web resumes are a good replacement for a LinkedIn profile if you don't have one, and are a better branded and easier to read version of your profile, if you do have one.
Here is an example: https://standardresume.co/r/dana-andrews
So the example resume doesn't seem to me like something to aspire to.
(That said I've been struggling to write mine for a while, so I don't want to imply it's easy.)
