I'll be looking for freelance work mainly in the UK at the end of this academic year. Would it be OK if I were to post my CV for people to give me recommendations and improvements? I'd find that really useful given the demographic of this site.

Don't ask permission to ask, just ask. The worst that can happen is that you'll get downvoted

The number of these posts is getting a little ridiculous.

Hey, Matt -

I'm in Denver and interested. I'll drop a line later today, but would you mind letting me know a little bit more about what you need? Websense has you guys blocked behind an overly aggressive filter as "category: none."

Graphical Artist/Designer who can do iPhone work (screens buttons etc). Extra points for willing to learn the proper methods of cutting PSDs up so we don't have to open photoshop on the dev machines.

Part time work only, good for a moonlighter or freelancer.

Usually a couple week lead time on things, but sometimes would like a couple day lead time (and are willing to pay for that).

Please show a portfolio (email in my profile), and a couple estimates how long/how much the most appropriate portfolio pieces took to do.

This type of post doesn't really work with the HN format -- not sure what the alternative would be, other than a /whoshiring url or something. If someone posts a job to a week-old post, no one sees it unless it's on the front page.
