It's called your home node. You can put whatever description of yourself that you want. I believe dragonchild's home node lists people who are interested in contract work, he may link to you if that's what you're after.

A section such as you propose needs to be well thought out, and it needs to be worth doing. I'll disagree with cchampion that it's a bad idea - but I would say it's probably impractical on two levels: a) you need to be able to delete your own posts (job filled/no longer seeking employment) which PM currently doesn't easily allow, and b) overlaps with other affiliated sites (jobs.perl.org, as already mentioned). More work than necessary, not much gain for the community.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
