Honestly the really small businesses have MORE reasons to need resumes -- if we're talking a professional job here, a small business can't afford to hire someone that doesn't have the skillset, and a resume makes it a lot easier to filter down to the candidates that are most likely to be worthwhile. It saves having to interview EVERY SINGLE PERSON.

Also: Follow up. When you give someone an application, call back in a week and follow up.
