The key to a successful online job search is learning to manage the risks. Here are some tips for staying safe while conducting a job search on the Internet
14、.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 CareerB 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 twi

16、y want your resume to remain out there on the Internet once you land a job. Remember, the longer your resume remains posted on a job board, the more exposure, both positive and not-so-positive, it will receive.2. Take advantage of site features.Lawful job search sites offer levels of privacy protect
17、ion. Before posting your resume, carefully consider your job search objectives and the level of risk you are willing to assume.CareerB, for example, offers three levels of privacy from which job seekers can choose. The first is standard posting. This option gives job seekers who post their resumes t
18、he most visibility to the broadest employer audience possible.The second is anonymous (匿名的) posting. This allows job seekers the same visibility as those in the standard posting category without any of their contact information being displayed. Job seekers who wish to remain anonymous but want to sh
19、are some other information may choose which pieces of contact information to display.The third is private posting.

23、o 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 dont know gets hold of your email address and shares it with others.Using an email address specifically
24、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 doesnt contain references to your name or other information that will give away your identity. The best solution is an email address

Theres no sense in safeguarding your information while sharing private contact information of your references.6.
