So I found this website a while back (probably on lifehacker.com) and played around with it for a few minutes. I came back to it recently to give it a thorough run-through and man, is it handy. Never again will I use Word to create a resume. emurse.com lets you create your resume online by filling in fields. You can add and remove sections, change the order of things, etc. It even gives you tips on what type of information to include and what to avoid. After getting your information filled in, you can swap styles on the fly. They have premium styles that you have to pay for, but the free styles look fine to me. All of this for free! As if that wasn't enough, you can even save your resume as a Word doc, PDF, HTML, text file and more. You can publish your resume to their website ([yourname].emurse.com) and they'll even track the views, prints and downloads of your resume for your. For added benefit, when you login they give you job suggestions from major websites based on the information you've entered in your resume. Give it a shot!

Thanks for the comment. Keep up the great work!
So you are applying for new jobs huh? It is about time. Youdeserve something better. Go out there and get em tiger!
I am guessing that was your wife, cause I cannot think of anyone else that would call you Tiger. That is a sweet tool, I will be looking into it.
No, it wasn't my wife actually.. And I'm not 100% sure who it was...
This is cool. I need to put together a resume this week anyway so I will try it out and let you know what I think.
I get more lifehack stuff from your blog than any other.
One very big setback is that emurse.com doesn’t have spell checker. Make sure you don’t have any typing/spelling misstakes on your resume or otherwise your resume will finish in garbage bin of HR manager.
