Comment on Resume.io - Crazy-simple online resumes with impression tracking.parent

Comments

I signed up just to poke around. Here's a full page example:

http://resume.io/dangrossman/xisuxools3

There seems to be no style options and no domain/URL options. You just fill in boxes and it generates a random URL after your username as the resume. You can have more than one resume with different random URLs.

There's a LinkedIn import button to grab your list of employers and dates of employment, but it somehow gave me the wrong dates.

I think the random string is clever. My first instinct would be that you should be able to reach it at http://resume.io/dangrossman, but then if someone is familiar with the service they could circumvent the tracking URLs.

On the other hand, having a human friendly URL might be nice in the long run for easily finding people. Definitely a tradeoff.

I think resume.io/user/public would do fine, wouldn't it?

I guess I've recently gotten signup fatigue as previously I'd have made a throwaway for it, thanks for the example!
