I was made aware of Emurse a couple weeks ago, but forgot about it until today when I came across this very positive review at Solution Watch. Emurse is a resume creation and management system with all the trappings of a modern web app. It was created by Gavin Hall and Alex Rudloff, who are also a lot of the muscle behind the new Netscape and the blogging software you and I are looking at right now. Emurse allows you to create a resume using its resume builder or upload multiple resumes. Each resume will get a unique, permanent URL that you can send to potential employers, who can download them in six different formats: DOC, PDF, RTF, ODT, HTML, and TXT. It also lets you e-mail, fax, or mail resumes and sync your resume with other job sites. Emurse is free for everyone, though I'm not sure if there are charges for faxing or mailing services.Emurse: Resumes, Web 2.0-style

Woah, we made download squad!
Thanks for the shout out Jordan :) We're close to adding in a "plus" level account that will include fax and postal services, as well as some of the other uber-cool features.
We just need brian and jason to give us a weekend ;)

If I understand this right the potential employer would have to go to a website to download the resume? With so many employere blocking or limiting web access for employees couldn't this be a potential problem?

The employer can go and download it, sure, but that's not the point of the site.
The point of the site is to help you manage your job hunt, both online and off. Creating, updating, sending, tracking, hosting, sharing, etc.. It's all cover.
