问题 Protect Your Privacy When Job-Hunting Online
The numbers associated with identity theft are beginning to add up fast these days. Identity theft is "an absolute epidemic", states Robert Ellis Smith, a respected author and advocate of privacy. "It's certainly picked up in the last four or five years. It's worldwide. It affects everybody, and there's very little you can do to prevent it and, worst of all, you can't detect it until it's probably too late,"
Unlike your fingerprints, which are unique to you and cannot be given to someone else for their use, your personal data, especially your social security number, your bank account or credit card number, your telephone calling card number, and other valuable identifying data, can be used, if they fall into the wrong hands, to personally profit at your expense. In the United States and Canada, for example, many people have reported that unauthorized persons have taken funds out of their bank or financial accounts, or, in the worst cases, taken over their identities altogether, running up vast debts and committing crimes while using the victims' names. In many cases, a victim's losses may include not only out-of-pocket financial losses, but substantial additional financial costs associated with trying to restore his reputation in the community and correcting erroneous information for which the criminal is responsible. Here are some tips for staying safe while conducting a job search on the Internet.
1. Check for a privacy policy.
If you are considering posting your resume online, make sure the job search site you are considering has a privacy policy, like CareerBuilder.com. The policy should spell out how your information will be used, stored and whether or not it will be shared. You may want to think twice about posting your resume on a site that automatically shares your information with others. You could be opening yourself up to unwanted calls from solicitors (推销员) .When reviewing the site's privacy policy, you'll be able to delete your resume just as easily as you posted it. You won't necessarily want your resume to remain out there on the Intemet once you had a job.
2. 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 to conduct a background check. This is one of the oldest tricks in the book -- don't fall for it. 3. Safeguard your identity.
Career experts say that one of the ways job seekers can stay safe while using the lnternet to search out jobs is to conceal their identities. Replace your name on your resume with a generic (泛指的) identifier, such as "Intemet 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 exact title assigned by your employer.
