Yeah but your friend was hunting for a job and pushing/leading people towards a resume and him. My question was more towards people who just have their resumes sitting out there on their personal sites and in a completely unprotected manner. I would guess that 90% of the blogs I randomly go to that the owners of those also have their resume sitting on the same sites. Would also guess probably 90% of the people I have worked with in this industry have their resumes on their personal websites.
