The internet offers many opportunities and convenience for online job seekers.
These websites allow you to browse and search thousands of jobs by searching through listings based on your chosen career.
Here are some things you need to keep in mind when job hunting online.
Be careful where you post your resume or CV.
If you're going to post your personal information on any website, make sure you do your homework and find out about the site beforehand.
You may be tempted to post your CV or resume on every job site you find.
Look for quality sites with good privacy policies.
So choose your job sites carefully.
Sometimes all you need to do is get the employers details and send your details through the post.
Make sure the website allows you to remove your details when you want to.
They want to increase the number of job seekers on their database to attract potential employers so they don't care if you are still looking for a job or not.
You don't want your details floating among businesses or companies long after you've found the job you want.
3.
You should never post things like credit card numbers, Social Security numbers (SSN) or National Insurance numbers (NI), bank account numbers, mother's maiden name, referees' names and phone numbers or any type of identifying characteristics or financial data.
Keep a record of every site where you post your details.
You will need to visit these sites and delete your personal information after you have found your dream job.
If the job site masks your personal information and contact details and allows you to control who contacts you, make sure you choose to use this facility.
Some of the companies who see your CV or resume may not be legitimate and may only be interested in profiting from using your personal data.
