Is posting your resume online safe? Since the contact information found in a resume is often also located elsewhere (e.g. telephone listings), you can conclude that posting your resume online is a safe way to conduct a job search. However, you should be aware of the type of information you include on your resume. For example, never include the following personal information on your resume:

* Social Security number
* Driver’s license number
* Bank account information
* Credit card information
* Passwords
* Date of birth

Additionally, never share the personal information listed above with a prospective employer until you are confident that the employer and employment opportunity is legitimate.

HCC Jobs Online is a free resource to job seekers and employers alike, so it is the job seekers' responsibility to determine whether an employment opportunity is appropriate or not.
