Dear members,
A new feature related to the CV has been incorporated to the quick profile updater. Members who do not wish to upload their CV can now indicate so and also add a message that will show in the CV section of their profiles. The default text for this message is "CV will be submitted upon request" but it may be edited to fit the profile owner's preferences.
