I have often just sent my resume via email (from Google Docs) when people have asked about employment or partnerships however, I am thinking about moving to an online format. I have viewed endless templates, I have seen people do things in a more creative manner such as with YouTube videos or Facebook time-lines. I understand the effectiveness of your resume is in the resume itself, but presentation can be a nice touch.

If you have an online resume would you mind sharing it? Also, would you suggest keeping it private (viewer must request a password, mainly to track who is viewing it) or do you just keep it public? How often do you update the page, I have viewed a few that utilize a blog and actively post as well. if you have done something unique please share and advise if it gained you leverage with your objective.

Of course the big question is, did you receive more traction with an online resume vs the traditional "here is my resume" approach?

Thanks in advance!
