Ask HN: Hacker Listing?

I've thought of letting profiles be more detailed, e.g. letting people post their resumes, and having them be searchable. Would people like something like that?

This would be great, but when Hacker News gets filled with all of the retards from Digg and 4chan, it'll turn into the "casual encounters" page on Craigslist.<p>Not that I would know what that's like, of course.

So as an hacker looking for a job I can ask a question about job hunting and get a job? Oh, boy sounds like we're going to get a bunch of those types postings and that PG is going to have his work cut for him modding down a lot of postings! :)<p>Now I'm going to be like Yosser and say: "Gissa job"<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yosser_Hughes" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yosser_Hughes</a>

Yes it's wonderful to leverage community but the way to get hired is A) find people who are hiring; B) develop skills which are in demand, and/or advertize that you have them; or C) do something interesting that makes hiring people find you.<p>Looking for work by putting an asterisk next to your name when you post on Hacker News is like saying that your job search consists of watching television.<p>If you read Hacker News and you have free time, why on earth are you not building some kind of business? Pick some tiny problem and build a tiny, awesome solution. Do some consulting. I gotta tell you, if I were coming here looking for people to hire, it wouldn't be the people who have no hustle and expect jobs to fall out of the sky and land in their lap.
