Chapter 1 Data Sharing in CV / Resume

Everyone in day today’s life is looking for data which is easily available on internet in the form of CV’s  / Resume / which are attracted by Free Job Portals / Consultancies who has Portal access or has their own portal  etc

Have you ever thought that your entire essential details are available in your CV and the same can be used by marketing or unethical agencies?

What do we mention in CV

Name  / Address / Date of Birth / Martial Status / Contact nos. / Email ID / Family Details

Your strong points / your week points in terms of employment

Your past employer details

Your present employer details

Your hobbies

Your training details

Your achievements and much more

Don’t you think these are very much essential data which you upload on portals which are accessible to anyone who takes the subscription of that portal?

This data can be used by anyone who has the access and utilize it for calling, generating leads, making an imaginary personality by viewing the CV,

In today’s world data means Business and business is Money.
