Ever wanted to know how to make a resume online?

I have seen many requests from jobseekers online asking how to make a resume online. There are online resume builders and has been for a while, Gigtide's new service and its called 'Online Resume Builder' and its the Social Networking aspects that it has implemented that make it so exciting. Why has no one thought of using Web 2.0 technologies like Social Networking for job searching until now?

This is a brilliant idea!

"The most exciting upgrade to date features enhanced functionality applied to each of the available resume templates, which allows customers to include social media elements. Users with premium subscriptions can make resumes available to search engines, add social book-marking capabilities, link resumes to social networking sites such as LinkedIn or Facebook, upload a picture, embed a YouTube video, share RSS feeds, track resumes through Google Analytics and provide additional contact methods through Skype, Yahoo Messenger, AIM or Live Messenger. In addition, interested employers can now use an "in-resume" contact form which is both emailed to the user upon completion, and allows the job-seeker to capture employer contact information to be stored in their contacts within the GigTide.com dashboard."
