In the event we cannot correspond with you via this email address, your submitted content may be rejected, and your account may be disabled.

You may permit us to share information in your Profile with prospective employers, recruiters, and others. Subject to visibility settings that you control, subscribers to services we may introduce will be able to view information in your Profile.
