The "about" section of your profile, as noted in another answer, provides a place to put whatever content you like, including a proto-CV if you choose.  But I think there's a more general idea here that I'd like to explore: a way to highlight particular posts, regardless of their scores or the communities they're posted on -- a way to call out some of your top work, where you get to define "top".  Sometimes your best work isn't high-scoring (maybe it's in an obscure, low-traffic tag), or maybe you just think everything *clicked* on that post and you want to show it off a little.

After we build a [network profile](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/285414), perhaps we could add something to it to hold a curated list of your posts, to be displayed like on profile pages now but showing the community (maybe without the category).  A minimal interface would give you a place to paste a URL from anywhere on the network and a way to reorder links you've already added.  Ideally the code would check that it's actually your post.  A fuller version might give you a way to add short annotations to be displayed with the link (why are you highlighting this?) or might let you highlight tags somehow.

It's not a resume, but you can use LinkedIn (etc) for that.  It might not even be professional work, if what you want to highlight is hobby activities.  It would just be billed as your highlights, with no implied semantics, unlike SO's Developer Story.

Would something like this address the request here?
