One of the most painful aspects of the job hunt is the lack of two way communication.
Sure, you’ve sent your resume out to two dozen employers, but it’s tough to know when exactly they’ve received it, if they have at all. Creating an Emurse resume makes it simple to keep track of where your resume has been and when it’s been viewed.
Today, we’ve taken it a logical step forward and have released more detailed statistics for your web resumes. You can now view who downloaded what and when, demographic data such as OS and Browser. You can also view things like what websites are sending the most traffic to my resume. It’s all part of increasing communication and putting you, the job seeker, back in control.
