StackOverflow Careers: Reload
I never liked LinkedIn, for many reasons. I didn’t see any meaning in it, because I didn’t believe that I would increase my chances of employment by adding a former boss to my friends and duplicating my Facebook profile.
Today I received a message from StackOverflow with the following content (translated):
First of all, it is immediately worth noting that registrationis only by invite. But compared to LinkedIn, there really is something to see.
UPD: If you have an active account on GitHub or CodePlex, then an invite is not needed.

What awaits us on the other side of the hyperlink ?
To begin with, of course, we will be offered to introduce our education, past work experience and a short “about yourself”, wherever without it. But then really useful points will go:
Of the other minuses, I did not like the fact that I had been looking for five minutes how to make the profile open for all to see.
Also, I did not understand the situation with invites. They were promised to be given on the following points: 1) introduction of information about yourself to more than 150 of 210 2) followers on GitHub and CodePlex 3) when guest users entered their profiles on 100 out of 210. I go through the first point, but I don’t have invites gave a possible bug.
An example of a profile (mine) can be viewed here: careers.stackoverflow.com/gearhead
In general, my conclusion: it is really a handy tool for creating an interactive resume for programmers.

To begin with, of course, we will be offered to introduce our education, past work experience and a short “about yourself”, wherever without it. But then really useful points will go:
- Technologies like / dislike: you can enter a list of existing tags SO
- Points and links to StackExchange site profiles
- Contribution to open source software. Here you can connect accounts GitHub, CodePlex, GoogleCode, BitBucket, SourceForge.
It is worth noting a minus right away: after registering GitHub (I don’t have any significant contributions in other networks), I was offered to choose which turnips to display in my profile. Among them there were no forknuts, there were only their own, which, in my opinion, is a big minus. - Applications and software: you can immediately describe a kind of portfolio
- Written and read: you can specify blogs and books that you have read or written.
- Tools: a rather funny item. So far they offer to introduce two things there: the first computer (for example, the Atari 1024 ST) and the favorite editor (VS, Vim, Emacs etc)
