When they ask me about you I either provide your basic info to them or tell them you provided no Information. If your info is there - it is there- if it is NOT THERE-It is NOT THERE.

Profiles without BOTH Headshots/Logo's and Resumes/Bio's are excluded from all searches - EVEN Paid Members. If your info is there - it is there- if it is NOT THERE-It is NOT THERE
