RE: Perlmonks and Resume's?

I've never done this on my resume, but I've sent people to the PM site for examples of my code. I have even sent people to specific nodes on this site for my favorite comments and favorite bits of code. When I apply for part- time projects, I generally always give PM as a reference in my emails so prospective employers can get examples of my work.

Addendum:

Just so you know, I'm one of the lucky few who have never, never sent out a printed copy of my resume with a printed cover letter. I have always used electronic communication to talk to my prospective employers and I've never had someone complain about it. I love being a techie.

While I can't claim to have never used a paper resume, I always keep an identical html version online. This way I can point a potential employer at my resume, or e-mail it to them, or fax it to them, or hand it to them. Whatever they want. This always impresses. For example, during the process of getting my current job I had a phone interview. The guy didn't call me, so I called him... he had misplaced my resume. So while we were talking he surfed out to my online version. A big plus.	[reply]
