3. safeguard your identity.
career experts say that one of the ways job seekers can stay safe while using the internet to search out jobs is to conceal their identities. replace your name on your resume with a generic (泛指的) identifier, such as "intranet developer candidate," or "experienced marketing representative."
you should also consider eliminating the name and location of your current employer. depending on your title, it may not be all that difficult to determine who you are once the name of your company is provided. use a general description of the company such as "major auto manufacturer." or "international packaged goods supplier."
if your job title is unique, consider using the generic equivalent instead of the exacnitle assigned by your employer.
4. establish an email address for your search.
another way to protect your privacy while seeking employment online is to open up an email account specifically for your online job search. this will safeguard your existing email box in the event someone you don't know gets hold of your email address and shares it with others.
using an email address specifically for your job search also eliminates the possibility that you will receive unwelcome emails in your primary mailbox. when naming your new email address, be sure that it doesn't contain references to your name or other information that will give away your identity. the best solution is an email address that is relevant to the job you are seeking such as .
5. protect your references.
if your resume contains a section with the names and contact information of your references. take it out. there's no sense in safeguarding your information while sharing private contact information of your references.
6. keep confidential (机密的)information confidential.
do not, under any circumstances, share your social security, driver's license, and bank account numbers or other personal information, such as race or eye color. honest employers do not need this information with an initial application. don't provide this even if they say they need it in order lo conduct a background check. this is one of the oldest tricks in the book - don't fall for it.
