You still don't have contact details in your profile, and you didn't answer the question I posted as a reply[0] to the last time you asked.

There's no need to apologise, and perhaps my point wasn't clear. I'm trying to say that if you're looking for jobs, not having contact details in your profile is a bit ... well ... "odd". Surely you want people to be able to contact you.

But it's not just your email, it's having a link to a CV, or some sort of page that talks about what you can do, and what you're looking for. If I'm looking to employ someone (which sometimes I am, but not at the moment) I'm going to want to know that the person is a problem solver, and can anticipate problems and work either to solve them, or to avoid them. I want to see examples of what they can do.

So in the light of that, how does it look for you to ask about finding jobs, but not have anything in your HN profile? You might want to have a think about that.

You're not the first person to do this, and I'm sure you won't be the last. I just always find it a little surprising.
