| Jan 6, 2016 at 23:12 | comment | added | Caleb | @bluefeet I certainly hope that you guys will do a fantastic job building an interface that makes this all very clear, but right now it sounds like there's going to be one place to enter information that will be used in (at least) two very different ways. Despite unlimited funds and a horde of designers and engineers, Facebook hasn't done very well at that sort of thing. I guess I'll have to wait and see. Separate interfaces for profile and CV would make a lot more sense, with perhaps a button to populate one from the other. | |
| Jan 6, 2016 at 21:39 | comment | added | Taryn | @Caleb When it comes to sharing your CV with the rest of SO, you don't have to. You'll be able to keep it private if you want, but for those users who want to display what they've done, etc in the developer story they can. | |
| Jan 6, 2016 at 21:22 | comment | added | Taryn | @Caleb Say I'm a fresh out of college user who has education details, maybe a few open source projects or an app that I've worked on and I'm proud of, basically a portfolio without work experience but they want to display that to the community - there will be options to show that publicly, even if you aren't looking for a job. Then if the same user starts to job hunt, they'll have a story already filled out. As far as using aliases, the plan is to have settings in place so "bluefeet" wouldn't be the name associated with the job application. Private details will stay private for employers only. | |
| Jan 6, 2016 at 21:13 | comment | added | Caleb | @bluefeet Since the entire point of a CV is to communicate experience and skills to employers, how could making it "something that users not looking for jobs could also use" possibly be an improvement? I get that there are certain similarities between a CV and a SO profile, but they're fundamentally different things. I don't necessarily want to share my CV with my SO compatriots, and I don't necessarily want to share my SO profile with prospective employers. When you apply for a job, do you enter your name as "bluefeet"? | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 19:47 | comment | added | Taryn | I appreciate the feedback. I'll point out a few things - employers will have the ability to look at candidates with either a traditional sorted view or the new view; we're still working out design details but I believe we will have start/end dates on employment in this view. Part of the reason for the new view was to due with the integration of careers into SO, the existing CV had a lot of issues and since we assigned devs to integrate it, we decided to revamp the CV and make it something that users not looking for jobs could also use. | |
