1 – the bit of code in the share section to paste a link to your CV onto your website, blog, etc needs to have password protection as an option. I might not want to show my resume to every single visitor.

2 – distribute an applet or whatever its name is these days to get job boards, agencies, vertical search engines, to enable job seekers to submit their emurse cv from their site. I know it’s a catch 22 as in noone wants to do it if no job seekers demand it but better be ready.

3 – grab applications information from the sites mentioned in point 2 to populate our current send/history section. This are might not get used in its current stand alone form

    Very cool.

    #1 — how would this be different than the password on hosting? Downloading a resume from a password protected site still requires the user to enter in the password :) We may be able to do some fancy JS widgets that allow for more than that.. It’ll eat things like myspace alive though.

    #2/#3 — We’ve heard this a number of times and are exploring possibilities. Please pass along the suggestion to the job sites to work with us as well :)

    Keep it coming!

    #1 if how you describe it is how it is meant to work, maybe then it’s a little bug that is just letting people through although the hosting is pass protected.

    #2,#3 it is a deceptively simple thing.. it may impact the sites’ strategies which means they’ll never let you in. I guess the key is to become indispensable in the job seeker’s toolshed – am sure you’ve got a better idea on how to become that than me :]

    Yeah, that would most certainly be a bug. I’ll verify it on our side and see what we can do. :)

    Update: I just checked with my own resume (alex.emurse.com), and was prompted for a password when trying to download both from alexrudloff.com and from my myspace page :

    Is there a link you can send me to test with? alex at emurse.com — maybe it was a bug that came and went?

    http://name.emurse.com/download/pdf/ isn’t a valid subdomain — it redirects to emurse.com

    By the way, we have a new blog up for emurse only stuff — http://www.emurse.com/blog/ — spread the word :)

    by “name” in the url, i meant “put a valid name here” such as yours :-) didn’t want people clicking on my cv, just in case and assumming it was actually w.out password protection… good follow up tho.
