Well if I had 2 previous and not a lot to say then yeah suppose so. But there's no place for a Narrative or for a table of skills with their strength. It would be easier to upload it (and at least one site I use parses it and adds the jobs it finds).

On a different note it is currently showing one role that I know is live.

Likely to be a newcomer to the sport, my IT "passion" was erased by the pursuit of hard, cold, cash many years ago

Anyone any feedback (good or bad) on using Stack Overflow to find your next high paying, piece of piss, IT job/contract?

Looks an interesting avenue for finding work.

TIA

Might be worth a try, as long as stackoverflow isn't infested with ultra-knowledgable uber-geeks, "passionate" about IT.

Contracting with permies like that must be a flipping nightmare, but luckily they are very thin on the ground and one is unlikely to encounter them.

Not sure, seems to be contracts and perm work there, but haven't really looked at the detail, was hoping for a biting CUK review and some vicious ego withering advice.
