I'm not self employed; I am a small business owner. Start a formal business for consulting [or whatever]. That way you aren't self employed; you were employed at Sudorank LLC or something similar. I haven't maintained a personal resume/CV is years; and have no plans to do so again. I do not share past client names with other potential clients. Recruiters don't know how to handle me, however it hasn't hurt my business. For proof of skill people can review my books, articles, blog posts, or StackOverflow profile. I assume my first meetings with clients are very different than interviews [although a few have had an interview-like feel].
