Just a general question to get everyone's opinion tell me what you think. If you personally were a team manager of a company and received hundreds of sponsorship requests a week, what would you prefer to see, a website/blogsite or written resume. This blogsite/website would be an alternative to the same old dull word document resume. It has your main screen with recent updates and then you can have links to sponsors/comp results/ goals..etc
Imo it just seems like making a normal resume is dull and boring..I've been keeping up with a blog I made and I really enjoy it and wonder if companies do as well..
Again what do you guys think

a resume is a resume... its should be tailored to the audience you are submitting it too... forget the whole "web presence" unless you are a GD or Web Developer or a Marketing/Communications Manager.

hah thanks..but kind of irrelivent..I've just been updating a blogsite for awhile now which includes pretty much anything a company would like to know or see and my question is if a company would rather see something like this...or a boring sheet of paper

You write a couple brief sentences on your resume about the site. Start each sentence with verbs (ie. Documented recent competions) put the link at the end of the sentences. Make sure the link is black and not underlined. If they are interest enticed they'll look it up
