"... The karma you get there is helpful to demonstrate to employers how well you can help others ..."
That's the impression I got listening to all the SO podcasts. A quick search found this article, "Stack Overflow Careers: Amplifying Your Awesome" http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2009/11/stack-overflow-careers-amplifying-your-awesome.html http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2009/11/stack-overflow-care... and this quote:
'If you're actively participating on Stack
Overflow, we now have another way to convert
those slices of effort into something that
actively furthers your professional goals
Stack Overflow Careers.' Coding Horror.
- monksy 14y agoIts easier to make a comparision of accounts if the employer is using Stackoverflow Careers. But if you have a general reference to your rep amounts on your resume thats much more difficult to explain why you don't have a decent amount of rep, or if the employer is clever.. they may notice a difference in rep from an older copy of your resume and current.

Would and employer look at a third party like that without looking closer at the candidate? Or are they using the suspect rep numbers as a basis of exclusion?
