Question:
Does anyone have experience of having their CV / Resume on a Web
Sites?
For example
the typical trials and tribulations, problems and how to overcome them
any successes
any recommended sites (that are reasonably stable)
I am looking for a site(s) that would host, a not too complicated CV /
Resume, maybe an odd GIF or simple animated GIF and a few pages of
data. I suppose that in a way you could say it is a business site, as
essentially you are trying to sell yourself !!!
I can't immagine there would be a great deal of traffic. I am
essentially in the Purchasing & Supplies / Materials / Inventory
business. Not what most peole are interested in looking for.
If possible I would like to stay away from the banners and advert type
of sites. It does'nt look too professional with all that garbage.
I would prefer a free site, but if a charge was to be made, I would
prefer a UK site, as I am UK based and it is a lot easier to pay in
£'s rather that go through the $ exchange mechanisms
Answer:
-Not sure what you're expecting really... plenty of people do it... online
portfolios, CVs, etc. Just create a nice HTML version, make it look decent,
well laid out and formatted conservatively but efficiently.
Few places will ever care whether their space is used commercially... but
really, it is hardly a commercial use, since it would still probably count
as personal, due to the information held within.
www.f2s.com, www.brinkster.net, etc. there are a few free providers that
don't apply advertising of any kind to the site. You could of course just
signup for one of the still current free 0845 isps for a little bit of free
webspace, which would suit your needs just as well, in all probality.
-Think you will find that anything free will have its draw backs. Have a
look at www.portland.co.uk - about the only other free hpst I know of with
no strings or banners but it can be unreliable. You can get reasonable
hosting pretty cheap - have a look at www.bigbytze.co.uk for a list of
budget hosts. www.34sp.com is pretty good VFM at £12 per annum (400mb a
month bandwidth limit though) aceinternet are prtyy good for around £20.
Other than that, as previously suggested, use the freespace provided by an
ISP.
