Beware of Broadcasting.
When on-campus interviewing and job fairs and haven't struck gold, you might be tempted to turn to the net for your job search. The Internet is one tool for preparing and distributing your resume. Unfortunately, it is also full of dangers with sometimes false and extravagant claims of unlimited resume distribution to millions of job openings. WARNING. There are few privacy protections from many such sites, and your detailed work history and contact information can end up in the hands and hard drives of thousands of organizations you've never heard of- professional or unprofessional. It may also cost you financially.
Use the power of the Internet to help build the best possible resumes and to support a selective distribution of your credentials to only those companies you want to reach. Manage your own digital job search to capitalize on its power and avoid some serious hassles.
Action: Use only those services that can guarantee you control of your data.
