He then logs out from the top left corner, where he can always find links to his home page or log out (when the current resume is saved, else, it takes him to the "save" dialog box).

Storyboard - The Direct Approach
Analysis
Learnability -- The user should have no problem learning what to do, especially if he has a general knowledge of what a resume is supposed to look like. Every textbox contains a hint as to what information should be filled in, and since the final version looks very similar to the version being edited, there should be no surprises as to what to do.
The only issue is that the user may not know how things should be phrased in certain cases. For example, under a specific work experience, should he use phrases or sentences when explaining what he did? This is something he will have to decide for himself.
Efficiency -- This design is quite efficient. The user can fill in what he wants when he want, and since the final product looks much like the input, there should be no confusion for the user as to what he wants to edit where.
The issue arises when the user wants to create a new resume. Since there is no central store of information, every time the user creates a new resume, he will have to start from scratch.
Safety -- Since any resume can be edited at any time, the design is quite safe. However, people cannot un-share a resume once it has been shared.
