| Jan 15, 2014 at 1:53 | comment | added | terdon | This question appears to be off-topic because it is about a professional choice and not about the website superuser.com which is what meta is supposed to discuss. | |

Used the official name of Super User - see section "Proper Use of the Stack Overflow and Stack Exchange Name" in http://stackoverflow.com/legal/trademark-guidance (the last section). Removed meta information (this belongs in comments, if any).

| Jan 5, 2014 at 18:46 | comment | added | nhinkle Mod | Another thing that's good to do is quantifying your contributions. This applies to all parts of a resume. For example, I've calculated the total views on questions on which I have the accepted answer and on blog posts I've written, and have a line that says "independent technical writing with over x article views". | |
| Jan 5, 2014 at 18:40 | comment | added | nhinkle Mod | @PFitz do you have a Stack Overflow Careers account? That's another way to more officially showcase your Stack Exchange contributions. Although targetted at programming jobs, you can also use it to show participation on Super User and other Stack Exchange sites. I've put references to Stack Exchange participation in resumes and cover letters before when relevant, and even had an interviewer ask me about it once. | |
