Just an anecdote from my experience — I am really enjoying the new Stack Overflow Developer Story. Mine is at [1] for example. While I do appreciate jobs, I'm a full-time independent contractor and not looking for a traditional job right now (though I have seen quality offers through SO Jobs).

That said, Developer Story / CV has been instrumental for me and has become my canonical resume. I'm a huge fan.

If I could make one feature request... it would be a way to indicate conference attendance. It's something I give extra credibility to, for both employers as sponsors / presenters and employees as attendees / speakers / volunteers, as not everyone is willing to put in the effort to give back. [You can see on my CV that I've tried to incorporate this as an "other" at the bottom, but it feels a little out of place.]

I'm a dev in the Developer Story/CV team and we appreciate the love <3 The conference attendance item idea is great, discussing it internally with our team right now. Thank you!
