McAfee says ResumeBay is POTENTIALLY Phishing

When navigating my website today, McAfee reported the following...

McAfee has detected a potential phishing Web site.
Phishing sites appear to be legitimate, but they request you to provide sensitive information, which can be used to commit fraud.
McAfee recommends that you block this Web site.

WTF? Are these guys looking for a lawsuit? This is blatant libel. People have to stand up to McAfee and show them the finger for these false positives.

Embed Your Resume

You can now embed your ResumeBay resume in other websites like MySpace. Here's my profile. If you look in the About Me, you'll see my resume in full.

RSS Resume

Yesterday, Douglas Karr left a very challenging comment on Chip' Quips. Basically, Douglas wants to use RSS as an envelop for his resume. Others could subscribe to his resume and get an update whenever his resume changes.

Douglas has written before on this subject. He would like to do a tag query on Technorati and find matching resumes.

Standards for embedding resumes in RSS already exist. Microformats is the most commonly used format, but you can also simply embed an HR-XML Resume object in your RSS <item>. So, I decided to make this functionality available on ResumeBay. Hack. Hack! And done.

ResumeBay does Word
You can now export the resumes you create in ResumeBay into Word format (actually its RTF). Simply go to the homepage while logged-in and you'll see the new alternate view for your resume.

Total DNS Failure
This afternoon, my hosting service took it upon themselves to screw up my DNS settings. They moved my DNS settings to a new name server, deleted them from the old server, then failed to point my name server records to the new server. If you can't get ResumeBay right now, neither can you read this, but if you could, then you'd know why we are AWOL.

Use ResumeBay and Win

I'm already announcing two winners in our contest to get users to give us great feedback. I promised one winner every week, but we got such great feedback the first day, that I'm giving away two prizes.

  1. Richard Pilkington has long been one of ResumeBay's biggest users. He had the largest (in KBs) resume of anyone not associated with ResumeBay. The new editor didn't work with his existing HR-XML resume and this gave us plenty of bugs to fix.
  2. Sterling Camden was one of the original ResumeBay users. In fact, I think we first met when he submitted a bug shortly after ResumeBay first launched. We are now great friends.

Thanks guys. I've already sent Richard a $20 book from Amazon and will be doing the same for Sterling as soon as he tells me what he wants. I've got another $150 to pay out. If you want $20 in Amazon merchandise, then simply use ResumeBay, find a bug or recommend a feature.

Resume Editor

I completely rewrote the Resume Editor. Got big plans. I'm looking for people to try it and tell me what they think. The people that send me the best bug reports, usability thoughts and feature requests will all receive free stuff from Amazon.com. Please take a look!
