Stack Overflow, the community site best known for providing answers for all of your random coding questions, also has a thriving jobs board and provides services to employers looking to hire developers. Today, the team is expanding the jobs side of its business with the launch of Developer Story, a new kind of resume that aims to free developers from the shackles of the traditional resume.<\/p>\n

As Stack Overflow VP of Community Product Jay Hanlon told me, in working with potential employers, the team realized that regular resumes put their emphasis on job titles, schools and degrees \u2014 but that doesn\u2019t always work for developers. According to Stack Overflow\u2019s latest survey, the majority of developers don\u2019t have degrees in computer science, for example.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are optimized for conveying the importance of your pedigree,\u201d Hanlon told me. The things you\u2019ve achieved, though, tend to be hidden in tiny bullets underneath those headers. So the idea with Developer Story is to pull out your achievements \u2014 the problems you\u2019ve solved, the open source projects you\u2019ve
\ncontributed to, the apps you\u2019ve written \u2014 and highlight those. \u201cDevelopers, fundamentally, are makers,\u201d Hanlon said. \u201cThey are less like a business analyst where a title conveys authority.\u201d<\/p>\n
