In any job search, it is undeniably important to circulate a resume.
However, job seekers need to carefully minimize privacy issues related to
resumes while still maintaining appropriate exposure to employers.
It is important for all job seekers to understand that resume databases
vary widely in privacy practices and controls. Learning to choose a quality
job search site and resume database with good privacy practices has become
an important part of your job search if you plan to use the Internet as a
job search tool.
Another key skill is to discriminate between valid job search related email
and unhelpful solicitations for your resume.
Remember, in the information economy, your resume has a "street value." It
is important to protect your resume from people and businesses who want to
use it primarily to make a profit instead of primarily to help you find
employment.
