Ans: We highly recommend not posting your résumé on the Internet.
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.
