I have looked at sites like odesk or elance and those just suck for US freelancers as they do not pay shit. No one can outbid some russian company charging $3 per hour.
Also in regards to the non-technical people. It takes time and effort to create something good looking and presentable, especially when applying for a job to stand out. So many people do not have the time, skills, etc to make it.
If you have something central where you can always store all your data, change resume designs in a matter of one click, why now use it?!
over the past years I have kept a bunch of resumes that were always outdated and every time i wanted to change a design, or to update it I did not know which was the better formatted one. Having it online, it is always accessible to you and anyone else like an employer to view it, see your video pitch etc...
Yeah, we just ran some tests and...as weird as it sounds...it shows up fine in IE6 and IE8 and all other browsers. But IE7 for some unknown reason does not show the cities.
... so weird.
is there any way you could try it with Firefox or Chrome?
And just to let you know that posting the site on sites like Twitter, FB, etc.. only gets you a few users the first day the post is up and then everything dies out. No disrespect, but this does not seem like a strategy to popularity.
Where do you go to find projects?
