No ToS, no privacy statement, nothing. Who are you?

Also:

1. Can I mark my account as hidden until I want people to see it?

2. What will you do with my data? Note, with LinkedIn it's pretty clear what they're going to do from the get-go just because of the nature of the service, with this there's nothing. Are you going to sell my details to recruiters? If so can I opt out? Do I have to pay rent if I do? Note some people won't care (perhaps a lot), this community is a bit of an outlier when it comes to privacy concerns.

3. What domain will I have, can I use my own?

4. Can I change the default style (as the example isn't really to my tastes)

Edit: One last thing, a full size example would be good too. You must have your own?

I don't keep a resume anymore, but on occasion someone asks me for one. I normally tell them I don't have one and point to my site, linkedin page, etc.

A couple of times recently I've been told that 'online resumes are not accepted'. Presumably because they can be changed after the fact. Ie - insert fake job, submit resume, remove fake job. Or something.

Of course, I just use the linkedin export to PDF option and send it to the lazy person shakes fist

But you might want to either (a) have a pdf export for people and/or (b) have a 'guarantee locked version' or something so that people know the version they are looking at hasn't changed since they first saw it.

Yes, I know, it's weird to want to refuse updates to a resume, but apparently people want that. It's more about ass-covering by documentation, but I guess that's what many people are about.

As mentioned in another comment, http://re.vu is a totally different approach that attempts to enable slick display of a ton of information.

I still prefer what I currently use: Markdown + pandoc + github + bit.ly. That gives me the following:

1. Version control, backup and hosting from Github.

2. Plain text for posting in the occasional web form or whenever else I might need a plain text resume.

3. One-command conversion to PDF using pandoc with a very simple LaTeX header (which I could automate with git hooks if I was lazy enough).

4. One-command conversion to HTML using pandoc, with a CSS file. I can jazz up the CSS and then print to PDF from my browser if I ever want something prettier.

5. Readable URLs using bit.ly that point to the latest version, for which I can easily view analytics by appending +, including country and referrer: http://bit.ly/mwhiteresume and http://bit.ly/mwhiteresumepdf

6. The awesomeness that is Github's Markdown style.

How about tracking metrics other than just views? Following http://paulbutler.org/archives/experiment-in-testing-my-resu... there are: how far into resume one scrolls, clickthroughs on embedded links, inclusion/exclusion of sections (e.g. grades for recent grads).

I guess it seems like "make a business version of X" is always sensible, so maybe this is like the business version of http://about.me/ ?

Personally, the resume process whenever I have applied anywhere has been: (1) make a beautiful resume in LaTeX, (2) export beautiful LaTeX resume to PDF, (3) get asked for an MS Word Doc or plain text so they can put it in their recruitment system.

Does passively posting a resume work for people? Does it lead to actual good recruiter interactions, rather than noise? Or is this for freelancers?

But, what's the use case for a product like this? I mean, I had my CV on Linkedin for ages. Same goes for most of the professionals I know.

How does a product like this one - and the others mentioned in the comments - position itself in a space dominated by Linkedin and personal web sites (such as flavors.me)?

Though I'd say that the features of ours are far more developed (we're implementing most of the ones I've seen suggested in this post); you're first to market. I guess the list of MVP features we've been working towards was just a little too long. Lesson learnt.

Sigh! I'll just have to get that signup page finished a little bit quicker.

Often employers want Word Documents anyway, which I suppose they could export from Google Docs.

Not sure if it is possible to share documents with non-GMail email addresses on GDocs, which would be a must.

It can take a resume upload or a linkedin profile and give you your own personalized resume URL like:

The resume search is awesome for employers too. http://www.indeed.com/resumes

Disclaimer: I work at indeed, but not on the resume product.

- Switch to a better font

- definitely lose the italics

- I'd drop the breadcrumb at the top of the resume view page, that could easily confuse someone reading it

- Certainly avoid usernames appearing on the public stuff

Good stuff :)

Another question (not just for you, but all online resume sites): How do you do identity management? I mean if I really wanted it, I could fake someones name, address, phone, (even photo, if that option would be available) etc easily, insert some false facts about education and work history and then let people start to google for it. I mean, you could always file a removal request, if you might stumble upon such a (your) faked profile, but you would have to ensure somehow, that the requester is the right person this time.

Or am I missing some mechanism to prevent this sort of identity thefts?

I think the move to infographics helps tell a more complete story. It took me about an hour to complete my re.vu profile. I've shared it with some colleagues and all would use this to learn more about a candidate. I think the devil is in the details.

Travis re.vu/TravisSheridan

I thought "Staujevooc" was a last name and my account got confused with someone else's.

Can the randomly generated string be numbers instead? I don't want to send out that link to someone and have them ask, "Who is Gabe Staujevooc?"

Other issues is that many sites/firms etc require word or pdf resumes and are skeptical (at least for most non techie positions) of anything that is neither.

Edit: Forgot to add, some more explicit privacy options would be cool. Also the "card" on the homepage (http://resume.io/{username}) seems to not be working correctly(?)
