"At #2, a new website that could help get you out of the unemployment line. It's Emurse.com. The service helps you turn that outdated resume into an eye catching one. After you create it, the site helps you market yourself online."

Business Week just did a full review of Emurse.com :)

"Simple, intuitive resume creation; free resume hosting with short domain names; high search engine visibility; traffic monitoring ... The easiest way to get your up-to-date work history on the first page of a Google search"

4.5 out of 5 stars! Not bad :)

Creating a good-looking, useful resume can be difficult. Emurse (www.emurse.com) helps you create resumes that can be shared online or printed.

You can either upload an existing resume or create one. Creating one from scratch takes longer. But you have more options when done, such as the ability to edit and share it online.

Once a resume is created, emurse will post it online for free. It also tracks where you've sent your resume, offering reminders to follow up.

A user has also developed what will be our first move into the wonderful world of Firefox Extensions. The Emurse.com Quick Send extension is a simple utility that allows you to right click on any e-mail link and send your resume via Emurse. We've received some great feedback on this initiative, and have some exciting plans for further integrations in the works! If you have an idea for a project along these lines, let us know -- we'll help provide a reasonable API for you!
