How pointless are resumes / CVs?

When I was working full time, I took a class on CV writing and ended up doubling my wage twice in a short period of time. I was admittedly flying by the seat of my pants, and did an okay job, but looking back I was totally underqualified for the roles I applied to. CV writing is a skill, but it’s basically the art of writing case studies – marketing really. Wouldn’t it be better if companies all moved to application forms and trial projects?
