Quick Tips
Dos & Don'ts to advance your job search
If you have privacy and/ or anonymity concerns:

  • Post your resume on secure websites with firewalls that prevent "spider” searches.
  • Use a "confidential job agent” if you don't want your current employer to know you're putting your resume out there.
  • Don't post your resume if you still have concerns.
 
Consider whether to post your resume online
If you're unemployed and actively looking for work, posting your resume online is definitely a smart thing to do. It means your name will be in the hat when employers search resume databases online. However, you may be in a situation in which you don't want to be exposed (for instance, if you are currently employed). Your current employer may well come across your resume. If you post online, you won't be anonymous unless the job board has a confidential feature - so beware.
 
My Coaching
Get an edge over the competition
If you've posted your resume on job boards, remember to revisit and revise it as often as necessary to reflect any changes in your experience or coordinates. You never know who might be browsing your resume. Keeping it current and relevant will increase your chances of being noticed if the "right" employer happens to be searching for someone with your credentials.
