Resume
-
My resume mentions that I'm a Code Project MVP and I have a link to my online developer portfolio, which has an articles section that has links to a few of my more representative artices on Code Project. Speaking of, I should really add my JavaScript article to that list.

Also, forgot to mention where I put that stuff. I put the URL to my online developer portfolio directly under my name at the top of my resume. I put the information about CPMVP under the "Education & Accomplishments" section at the bottom of the second (and last) page.

Would you post picture of yourself being arrested for public drunkenness on facebook and then point your resume to them? If your profile had good answers to technical questions (note: not the same as a high reputation score) or a dozen or so excellent articles, and thus made you stand out from the crowd, then perhaps it would be worth including. Looking at your profile, it is bottom of the pile (sorry if it sounds brutal, but look at it with the hard eyes of an employer with two hundred other resumes to look at before lunch...) and not something that is going to make a potential employer sit up and go "Wow! Let's get this one in for interview!" - which is after all the point of a resume.

My Question is can we place link of our codeproject profile in our resume, if yes then under which section?

Hell no! I don't want any prospective employer knowing what I do all day. :-D
Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk. Fall over - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre I cannot live by bread alone. Bacon and ketchup are needed as well. - Trollslayer Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb - they're often *students*, for heaven's sake - Terry Pratchett

That can only be done a few times because of the BACON Counter.

Doesn't make sense to me when your username isn't your real name. Either you stand for what you post, or you don't. :)

Considering you don't have any articles, only a handful of answers to questions and no community awards, I wouldn't put it on your resume. The only things from this site that I put on mine are links to my articles, but only under "Interests". If you do eventually write some good articles, then you can include the links, but you should not rely on them to buy you any credit with a prospective employer.

FWIIW, I had my CodeProject profile link in my resume when I applied at my current job and it actually helped :) It was at the very end in a section I named: Articles and open source projects.

Hey now. No jumping the line to get at the BACON. There's plenty for everyone. :)

I would hesitate to link to any form of social media particularly if you use a pseudonym that is, if not the same, similar on most of them. I have lost count of the number of friends and acquaintances that have had job related problems due to a misjudged retort on a social networking site. Once htey are aware of your 'online name' they will find everything you have ever said, good and bad.

Depends on which branch of The Home and Colonial you were in. All I know is, that if you stand with your back too close to the BACON slicer, you could get behind in your orders.

I wouldn't put a link to my profile in my resume, but I have listed the articles I have written here at the very end under Achievements.

I figure just having it in your profile should have some positive impact. While I have not had to look for ages I intend to use it much like aspdo... has.
