Anyone use their resume online?

    What I mean by that is does anyone have an html page of their resume that they use to attract potential employers? If yes, what are the results? Please post links.

    I have just started to work on one, I thought it would be easier than emailing a document that may be incompatible with a recipients current version of said programs.

    Just curious if anyone has had success or if anyone had pointers.

    PM me if it is easier.

    On my site I have resume, web portfolios, and other hobby stuff. I pulled it out when I already got the job (Web programmer).



    Cheers!

    If you want to send your cv to people use PDf.

    What I meant was, a professional resume, when you are looking for a new line of employment. Not necessarily your portfolio, but I guess that would be part of some resumes...

    I used Monster.com and found it to work well. Potential employers are able to view your resume at any time (if you select that option). I also reccomend that you e-mail and/or fax your resume to the employers. It worked for me! :)

    Just be careful about using your personal information on the Web.

    Basically you can either post your resume on resume posting websites or create a web page with your resume.

    Disadvantages are:
    - if you are currently working, you risk your current boss finding out you are looking for a job.
    - your personal information would be all over the world. A way around this is not disclose sensitive personal info.

    While potential employers may contact you directly, it's mainly recruiters who search for resumes online... etc.
