Are resumes out?

Not really! Resumes still serve a purpose to many and are continually requested. One caveat might be to not allow others to ask you to send a resume just to be rid of you. If they ask then you should ask what they want to see in it and what style.
The purpose of most resumes are to catch the other person's attention so you can garner an interview and get in front of someone.
Some professionals just don't like resumes because most resumes are an obituary, that is, here is what I have done. Yet most potential employers want to know what you can do for them now. When you make a resume be sure you have the very best there is to offer.
Remember that the reader needs to see a compelling reason to talk with you.
