Chandler Hill Partners Blog - How much personal info should I post online?

First, decide how concerned you are with having your personal contact information on the Internet. How important is it for you to be able to "disconnect" your Internet resume when you are no longer looking for work? If resume confidentiality and Internet disconnecting are important to you, we recommend following these tips.

Choose the confidentiality feature when posting your resume online. Also make sure you do not have your personal information in the body of your resume. Replace this information with "Confidential Resume". One other suggestion is to get a separate email address to use for your job search activities. Make sure the email address doesn't contain identifying information like your last name. Then, once your job search is over, you can cancel the email address at anytime.

If controlling the distribution of your resume is important to you, using the confidentiality feature on job boards is key. This way when you have secured a new job your personal information will not be exposed online to other recruiters and hiring managers will not be able to reach you.
