Emurse is “an anagram for Resume, is a powerful online tool designed to help take control of your job hunt.” It is a great service, and I am fortunate enough to know the team behind it - they are awesome. One of my favorite (paid) features is an e-mail notification I get whenever anyone reads my resume. It shows the referral domain and the domain of the viewer. Since Emurse has such great SEO, most of the referrals are from Google search result pages.

You can also infer what is going on in the web industry by looking at these. My resume is web and engineering heavy, so I end up seeing interesting trends in those areas. Here’s one I got today, can you guess why?
