Ans: We recommend posting your resume on reputable web sites.
This is your personal information and it can be exploited or sold
easily. Our recommendation is to utilize JSfirm's digital
resume (confidential
example) to advertise your capabilities. Our digital resume
allows only companies using our service to view your resume, NOT
THE PUBLIC! In addition, you still have the opportunity to choose
complete confidentiality, allowing you to look for employment while
currently being employed! JSfirm does not sell or exploit your information.
We simply connect employee with employer keeping confidentiality
in the greatest standard. We have developed a unique database allowing
you to sell yourself without divulging personal information to the
public. Best of all there is no fee for placing your resume
on our site.
Advances in computer technology have made it possible for detailed
information about people to be compiled and shared more easily
and cheaply than ever. That's good for society as a whole and
individual consumers. For example, it is easier for law enforcement
to track down criminals, for banks to prevent fraud, and for consumers
to learn about new products and services, allowing them to make
better-informed purchasing decisions. At the same time, as personal
information becomes more accessible, each of us - companies, associations,
government agencies, and consumers - must take precautions to
protect against the misuse of that information.
The Federal Trade Commission
I saw an ad on the Internet for jobs in corporate finance. I
faxed my resume to the 800-number listed and got a call from a
woman who said her company works with businesses to find employees
to fill their positions. She said the service would cost me $495,
but the fee was fully refundable if I was dissatisfied or found
a job on my own. She guaranteed me interview opportunities and
told me that if I found a job through her company, there was a
good chance my new employer would reimburse me for the fee. I
never got any interviews, let alone a refund, and now I can't
even get the company to return my calls. - -paraphrased from a
sample complaint letter to the FTC.
