Just like posting your resume anywhere online (Monster, HotJobs , etc), you are taking certain risks by putting your personal information online. This can range from people finding out where you live, a current employer figuring out that you're looking for work, or in rare circumstances people gleaning enough personal and historical information to assume your identity.

As a result, please never feel that you need to share your personal information on Resume Wiki. If you are looking for a job it's never a bad idea to be able to be contacted, however the decision will ultimately come down to personal preference.

For the sake of any recruiters who may be reading, please be obvious if you are not including your real information (or name) so that they do not waste any of their time trying to contact you.

In order to minimize your privacy risks, you may:

• not include your address or contact information on your resume
• not include any personal information on your resume
• only include a valid email address on your resume
• replace the names of companies and educational institutions with generic names
• change dates to (clearly) aritificial values
• post only those portions of your resume that you wish to have critiqued
• not relate your resume to any other resumes you may have posted previously
• ask that interested parties leave a Comment or Edit on your resume

These and other similar measures ensure that no one can personally identify you from your information, and conversely, that no one can identify themselves as you by fraudulently providing your information. Essentially: stay comfortable, stay safe and please maximize the resource that is Resume Wiki. Post your resume (safely) and comment and edit others. A vibrant community is a healthy community.
