Protect Your Privacy When Job-hunting OnlineA)Identity theft and identity fraud are terms used to refer to all types of
crime in which someone wrongfullyobtains and uses another person's personal data
in some way that involves fraud or deception, typically foreconomic gain.
B)The numbers associated with identity theft are beginning to add up fast
these days. A recent GeneralAccounting Office report estimates that as many as
750,000 Americans are victims of identity theft every year.And that number may
be low, as many people choose not to report the crime even if they know they
have beenvictimized:
C)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
littleyou can do to prevent it and, worst of all, you can't detect it until it's
probably too late."
D)Unlike your fingerprints, which are unique to you and cannot be given to
someone else for their use, yourpersonal data, especially your social security
number, your bank account or credit card number, your telephonecalling card
number, and other valuable identifying data, can be used, if they fall into the
wrong hands, topersonally profit at your expense. In the United States and
Canada, for example, many people have reportedthat unauthorized persons have
taken funds out of their bank or financial accounts, or, in the worst cases,
taken over their identities altogether, rtmning up vast debts and committing
crimes while using the victims' names. Inmany cases, a victim's losses may
include not only out-of-pocket financial losses, but substantial
additionalfinancial costs associated with trying to restore his reputation in
the community and correcting erroneousinformation for which the criminal is
responsible.
E) According to the FBI, identity theft is the number one fraud committed
on the Internet. So how do job seekersprotect themselves while continuing to
circulate their resumes online? The key to a successful online jobsearch is
learning to manage the risks. Here are some tips for staying safe while
conducting a job search on theInternet.
F)Check for a privacy policy. If you are considering posting your resume
online, make sure the job search siteyou are considering has a privacy policy,
like CareerBuilder.com. The policy should spell out how yourinformation will be
used, stored and whether or not it will be shared. You may want to think twice
aboutposting your resume on a site that automatically shares your information
with others. You could be openingyourself up to unwanted calls from solicitors
(推销员). When reviewing the site's privacy policy, you'll be ableto delete your
resume just as easily as you posted it. You won't necessarily want your resume
to remain outthere 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.
G)Take advantages of site features. Lawful job search sites offer levels of
privacy protection. Before posting yourresume, carefully consider your job
search objectives and the level of risk you are willing to
assume.CareerBuilder.com, for example, offers three levels of privacy from which
job seekers can choose. The first isstandard posting. This option gives job
seekers who post their resumes the most visibility to the broadestemployer
audience possible. The second is anonymous( 匿名的) posting. This allows job
seekers the samevisibility 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 share some other information may choose whichpieces of
contact information to display. The third is private posting. This option allows
a job seeker to post aresume without having it searched by employers. Private
posting allows job seekers to quickly and easily applyfor jobs that appear on
CareerBuilder.com without retyping their information.
H)Safeguard your identity. Career experts say that one of the ways job
seekers can stay safe while using theIntemet to search out jobs is to conceal
their identities. Replace your name on your resume with a generic (泛指的)
identifier, such as "Intranet Developer Candidate", or "Experienced Marketing
Representative". Youshould also consider eliminating the name and location of
your current employer. Depending on your title, itmay not be all that difficult
to determine who you are once the name of your company is provided. Use ageneral
description of the company such as "Major auto manufacturer," or "international
packaged goodssupplier." If your job title is unique, consider using the generic
equivalent instead of the exact title assigned byyour employer.
I)Establish an email address for your search. Another way to protect your
privacy while seeking employmentonline is to open up an email account
specifically for your online job search. This will safeguard your existingemail
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 receiveunwelcome emails in your
primary mailbox. When naming your new email address, be sure that it
doesn'tcontain references to your name or other information that will give away
your identity. The best solution is anemail address that is relevant to the job
you are seeking such as salesmgr2004@provider.com.
J)Protect your references. If your resume contains a section with the names
and contact information of yourreferences, take it out. There's no sense in
safeguarding your information while sharing private contactinformation of your
references.
K)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 saythey need it in order to conduct a background
check. This is one of the oldest tricks in the book--don't fallfor it.
