<p>I have. I'm a psychologist in the early stages of my career though. I have a lot more space on my curriculum vitae and LinkedIn profile than some of these other guys, fewer other ways to demonstrate my statistical skills, <em>such as they are</em> <sup><sub>(@Glen_b is overly modest when he refers to his readily evident communication skills with this phrase, but my stats skills are still largely untested outside this forum)</sup></sub>, and fewer things to mention in cover letters and interviews, especially since I also fall into @whuber's category of very high rate-of-participation users. I've been overdoing it on <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/users?tab=Editors&amp;filter=year">edits</a> and <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/users?tab=Voters&amp;filter=year">votes</a> all year! I've been mostly  unemployed post-PhD too <sup><sub>(vacation attributable to <a href="http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_post-reinforcement_pause" rel="nofollow noreferrer">post-reinforcement pause</a>, <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/a/92248/32036">heavy remedial study of stats for analysis overhaul prior to dissertation publication</a>, moving out, brutal job market for teachers, etc.)</sup></sub>, so my activity here has probably been my most valuable and demonstrable professional activity since grad school. Since abandoning teaching applications, I've even been making a tentative (and temporary) career shift toward statistical consulting. I've had two private clients since graduating – one referred by a friend, and another who found me here! This inspired me to just list myself as a freelance statistical consultant on my CV, LinkedIn, etc., which resulted in a hiring company contacting me (I didn't have the software knowledge necessary though). Clearly it's a better entry than nothing to account for my time since graduating...but I'm fairly atypical.</p>

<p>Moreover, I've just been hired for a psychology postdoc with heavy stats demands. I got this far in part by studying longitudinal SEM, and I owe much of my confidence with these methods to my experience here, since I've had limited chances to apply them otherwise. In applying, I described my activity since graduating as statistical consulting – mostly volunteer – and mentioned my experience here on CV briefly in both my cover letter and during the interview. Both were received well. I don't think the mention of CV in my cover letter mattered much, but I noticed a little bit of surprised enthusiasm when I described over the phone how I've been sticking my nose in people's statistical problems from all over the world and all sorts of careers for the past 8 months. I don't want to overplay the effect – I have a lot of other strengths and lucky compatibilities going for me in this case – but mentioning my work here (briefly, as others have advised; it wouldn't have been enough in isolation) sure didn't hurt my chances.

<p>Hope my self-indulgent autobio doesn't seem too tangential. I prefer to tell the story than advocate my choices, as my only support for them is in their results so far. My relevant curriculum vitae entries:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p><strong>Professional Experience</strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Statistical consultant, various clients and projects, 2013–2014</li>
  <li>[One other unrelated entry here – president of a departmental grad student association]</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><strong>Professional Memberships</strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/users/32036/nick-stauner">Cross Validated</a>, <a href="https://cogsci.stackexchange.com/users/4086/nick-stauner">Cognitive Sciences</a>, and <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Nick_Stauner" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ResearchGate</a>, 2013–2014 [hyperlinks included!]</li>
  <li>[Four other unrelated entries here – psychology associations with conferences I presented at]</li>
  </ul>
</blockquote>

<p>These are just one line apiece in fields I wanted to include anyway – nothing too obtrusive or emphatic. FWIW, on LinkedIn, Cross Validated is somewhat more prominent on my profile. I list three websites, one of which is my profile here. I list myself as a "personality &amp; social psychologist <strong>and statistical consultant</strong>". I describe my experience as, "Statistical analysis, review, reporting, editing, and consultation," which largely refers to my activity here. Last, there is a field for volunteer work – Cross Validated is my only entry there, and though it may not amount to a hill of beans on the job market, I'm very proud of it.</p>

<p>Oh, and my alibi for my (hyper)activity here, should it be called into question: I've been striving to build connections and contribute to the staying power of one of the best professional resources I know of, and now that I've got this job, I'll probably be transitioning away from editing/reviewing/answering and toward asking! Bounties forthcoming as necessary – I can certainly afford a few now. Thanks CV!</p>
