I just signed up with Careers 2.0, and I have a Public profile. Is there any way I can create a badge saying View my Profile on Careers?, like the one which LinkedIn offers. Stack Overflow offers a Flair, which has the reputation and badges along with the name.  I am just wondering whether a similar option is available in Careers? I have gone through the FAQ of the website, but could not find anything related.

Are there any image badges like those on  for Careers.SO?         I would like to add a nice image to my website profile.

The  on the StackOverflow blog says that badges are there &quot;to encourage positive behavior&quot;. So, why not giving each user some reputation points for each badge? Maybe with differences: a &quot;woot&quot; badge would mean 100 points, while a &quot;scholar&quot; badge would give 10 points to the user. -- Edit: someone pointed out that you already gain some reputation implicitly when you get a Badge. That's false for 90% of badges: Woot -&gt; no rep earned Autobiographer -&gt; no rep earned Beta -&gt; no rep earned Citizen Patrol -&gt; no rep earned Civic Duty -&gt; no rep earned Cleanup -&gt; no rep earned Commentator -&gt; no rep earned Critic -&gt; no rep earned Disciplined -&gt; no rep earned Editor -&gt; no rep earned Fanatic -&gt; no rep earned ...

I just got my first offer through careers.stackoverflow.com.  The offer was for places other than the ones listed in my "Where do you want to work?".  This is one of my pet peeves.  There needs to be an easy way to flag employers as not following the rules.

I just got the  badge on StackOverflow, which is nice, but I noticed a number of top users aren't yet listed (inluding Jon Skeet and Marc Gravell, who would certainly qualify).  This made me wonder how the badges are retrospectively applied. Is it just that the display is heavily cached and the badge is awarded when the user logs in again or something?

I recently noticed a new feature, the network profile link, just under the flag weight in my user profile page. It probably seemed like a good idea but I really don't like it. Here's why:  I am very committed to StackOverflow, use my real name for the account, take a professional approach to it and hope to use it as something of a portfolio-light at some point in the future.   Every now and then I venture onto other Stack Exchange sites but I do so with mostly different names for different SE sites. I have posted some questions and answers that I would rather not have connected back to my Stack Overflow account. They've been silly or controversial and have nothing to do with software engineering. I would rather a potential employer not see these posts or even see links to other sites I may be a member of. There are sites where mere membership can be offensive to people. For example: Atheism, Christianity, Skepticism, etc. I really do not want these sites and accounts to be linked back to something that I do take seriously such as SO.   It is also a matter of privacy. I see the network profile and accounts links as something akin to using a particular browser and finding out that the browser is publishing your history for all the world to see. Some might be OK with that but not me. There are SE sites I find interesting and want to participate in from time to time but only anonymously. Had I known that all of my SE accounts would at some point be tied and published together I would have never signed up for many of them.  I would very much like to see a check box when editing my profiles that specifies whether or not my SE accounts should be displayed.  Thank you for your consideration.

If you Google my name, it comes up with a link to my ServerFault profile first, then StackOverflow profile, then LinkedIn, then website, etc.  I've heard it's common practice for employers to Google your name, so I'd like the results to show the most relevant information. My ServerFault account contains nothing, and there's no reason for an employer to see my Meta profile (which is further down, but still on page 1). Having those links show up in the results isn't relevant or helpful to someone searching for information about me.  What I'd like is to prevent Google (and other search engines) from spidering/showing my *Overflow site profiles except StackOverflow, or be able to control this somehow per *Overflow site.  Honestly, I don't know if this is even possible, as I'm not familiar with SEO and such. I know this kind of thing would never work perfectly, but as long as it works for the major search engines, that's all that matters.  I suppose a way around this is to simply remove my name from the profiles I don't want to show up... but that doesn't really solve the problem. For example, I could end up building a good rep here on Meta, to which I would want to attach my name for other users to see, but is an employer (or anyone else in the general public, for that matter) really going to care about what goes on here? Highly unlikely. I think employers would be more interested in things that relate to the tasks for which I would be hired. It isn't important information even though it may be ranked higher on Google.

Looking at your network profile, there is no number anywhere in your entire profile that has a sum of all your reputation across the network except for the flair page, which isn't always accurate because it's cached, and isn't exact because it rounds. Yet, there's so much empty space on the profile page.  My simple idea is to list the user's total reputation and badge counts below their Gravatar image like on any normal profile page across the network (keeping the rule of only accounts with over 200 reputation). It would make it incredibly easy to find and I wouldn't have to go search for myself on Area 51 to figure it out.

Are the "top tags &amp; percentiles" from Stack Exchange sites other than Stack Overflow displayed in the Careers site?  If not can they be added?  If they are, then what are the requirements for them being displayed in the Careers site?

Is there a way to view your own progress towards certain badges? For example:   Tumbleweed - What value constitutes low views for a week? Fanatic  – Is there a way to view how many days in a row you currently have? Beta – Is it even possible to get this badge anymore?

Note: I don't seem to have actually been awarded the badge.    I just got this message:    however, I'm still quite a bit away from the reputation requirement:    I didn't get a notification that I earned the badge, nor is it in my badge list. But I cannot select it for tracking anymore:    Not sure if this is related to     I did not get the badge awarded, but maybe it's just not that time of the day yet (does the tracking earning notice and the actual awarding occur on different schedules)?

This question might not be a directly related to programming but more the culture around it, specifically Stack Overflow.  I recently stumbled onto , and read how you could create an online CV that links to your Stack Overflow reputation, thus allowing future employers to review your answers and questions.  Since Stack Overflow has become such a phenomenal success for developers, I realised that Stack Overflow Careers was going to be crucial when applying for software development jobs in the future. This would imply that a high reputation is needed to reflect well on your CV.  Now, I love Stack Overflow and think it’s a great resource for finding solutions to problems regarding software development. However, I cannot possibly sit on the site 24/7 and hope to be one of the first replies to a question to try and increase my reputation. Developers need to work, you know.  So my question is: How do you increase your reputation score on Stack Overflow in a realistic manner? There are users out there boasting reputations of 25,000 and higher. How do you do this? Suggestions, comments, tricks, etc. would be helpful.

Please provide the Careers and Jobs features in the app. This will help us to closely interact with employers. It will be an additional advantage if you provide chat option with employers too.  We, as job seeker, would like to see ratings and feedback of previous employees too for that company, before making a decision of job change.

Earning badges on StackExchange is, well, fun. But aside from that it promotes quality interaction from users and helps weed out spam (I have never seen a spam post on the site).  I have a community website with about 500 active users, but the spammers are starting to become more prolific.  I would like a way to make the site more engaging while promoting the same quality of interactivity.  How would you recommend to put in a good reputation system, as well as a goal achievement system?

I noticed, when viewing a question on the , that my username and profile is not correct.  , and .  Something is weird here:   My profile "about" section is filled in and I have the Autobiographer badge. I certainly never manually filled in the about page there so clearly this account is connected to my main account as the profile text was filled in automatically. Yet, the username and avatar does not match. Also I have the association bonus there, so it definitely wasn't me logging in randomly, I must have been already logged in as myself network-wide when I created that account (assuming I created that account).  The "private information" section in that user900 profile is completely blank (no full name, no email address), unlike all of my other profiles. Only the "about me" is really filled in.   Points 1 + 2 = there's no reason why the username or avatar should be different.  Point 3 is a mystery.  Also I am quite sure it's connected to my account. When I log out of Literature it does log me out of the entire network. And when I log in to the network, that account on Literature shows up again.  What is going on here? Is this a bug? An accidental merge? Did I do something weird?   None of this makes any sense to me. There's no reason why I should have a profile with a generic username and gravatar on that site given the other observations.  Additional random data points:   I use the same Google login for everything here. Just to be sure I reviewed account activity for my Google account. There are no security alerts, no unrecognized devices, and no suspicious logins or other activity. I do not use the mobile apps. I sometimes use the mobile site through my phone, but I checked my phone's browser history (which I have not cleared since January) and confirmed that I have never visited that site there. Looks like I haven't cleared my desktop browser history either, and I can at least verify that I did indeed create the account on March 1st, there is a visit to the  and the first question I visited was , although it does not appear that I took any actions there. According to my browser history I edited my profile, or at least visited the edit page, on March 2 (via MSE) and March 4 (via SO). I would have applied the changes to all communities. According to  the Literature site profile was updated on March 3, two days after it was created. Not sure if this is a red herring, but these events did all happen around the same time. Yesterday, I had an unregistered account on the UX site merged with mine (long story), it seemed to happen without a hitch, not sure if that's related.

I recently was invited to create a Careers profile (I'm flattered, by the way).  On Monday, the 29th of October, I received the invitation, saying     [snip flattering stuff about my contributions and Careers] But please act soon: this invitation expires in 14 days, ...   (Emphasis is mine.)  I didn't act swiftly, so today, Monday the 5th of November [Remember, remember ...] I received the following reminder:     We noticed you have not accepted our  to join Stack Overflow Careers.  Only 3 days remain before it expires, and we’d love to have you.   (Emphasis is mine again.)  Thank you for the flowers, and I acted before Careers decided that maybe 3 - 1 = 0, but somebody should take a look at the code for calculating how many days the invitation remains standing.

I've seen questions like  whose answers seem to suggest that linking your SO profile to your Careers profile was (being) implemented last year.  However, on my SO profile, the "Stack Overflow Careers Profile" under "Web Presence" says "No Careers profile for this account...", and yet, clicking the "Discover Stack Overflow Careers" link (as instructed) brings up my Careers profile.  Is this a bug?  If not, how can I get my profile linked up properly/fully?

On the left sidebar, the first item of the menu is my profile pic + nickname. It seems to be a fake link. Wouldn't be cool if this link goes to my profile instead of doing nothing?  Or maybe, instead of a "non-link", display a summary of my profile (points, number of badges, profile views, helpful tags, etc..).
