When, as now, the professional labor force experiences a tight market, the need to protect your identity, while doing what you can to enhance your job prospects, must be given serious consideration. That said, if you don’t want your resume to fall into the wrong hands, you’d better be careful where you send it.
I am amazed at how many attorneys, without a thought, send their resumes to blind ads in search of employment. I know that they would never freely send the contents of their wallet to unknown persons or entities. Yet, so many give little or no thought to freely sending their resumes, filled with personal and professional information, which really should be viewed just as confidential, if not more so, than the contents of their wallet.
