            Protect Your Privacy When Job-hunting Online

            Identity theft and identity fraud are terms used to refer to all
            types of crime in which someone wrongfully obtains and uses another
            person's personal data in some way that involves fraud or deception,
            typically for economic gain.

            The numbers associated with identity theft are beginning to add up
            fast these days. A recent General Accounting Office report estimates
            that as many as 750.000 Americans are victims of identity theft
            every year. And thai number may be low, as many people choose not to
            report the crime even if they know they have been victimized.

            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."

            OnfficTyour 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 ihe 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.

            According to Ihe FBI, identity theft is the number one fraud
            committed on the Internet. So how do job seekers protect themselves
            while continuing to circulate their resumes online? 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.

            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 (4MB $ ).
            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 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 protection. Before
            posting your resume, 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 is standard posting. This
            option gives job seekers who post their resumes the 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 share some other information
            may choose which pieces of contact information to display.
            The third is private posting. This option allows a job seeker to
            post a resume without having it searched by employers. Private
            posting allows job seekers to quickly and easily apply for jobs that
            appear on CareerBuilder.com without retyping their information.

            3. Safeguard your identity.
            Career experts say that one of the ways job seekers can stay safe
            while using the Internet 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."
            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 exacnitle as­signed by your employer.

            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.

            1. Robert Ellis Smith believes identily theft is difficult to detect
            and one can hardly do anything to prevent it.
            2. In many cases, identity theft not only causes the victims'
            immediate financial losses but costs them a lot to restore their
            reputation.
            3. Identity theft is a minor offence and its harm has been somewhat
            overestimated.
            4. It is important that your resume not stay online longer than is
            necessary.
            5. Of the three options offered by CareerBuilder.com in Suggestion
            2. the third one is apparently most strongly recommended.
            6. Employers require applicants to submit very personal information
            on background checks.
            7. Applicants are advised to use generic names for themselves and
            their current employers when seeking employment online.
            8. Using a special email address in the job search can help prevent
            you from receiving________.
            9. To protect your references, you should not post online
            their________.
