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 Salesmgr2004@provider.com.
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.
