🔸 Do not disclose your full address – country/state or city is enough.

🔸 Do not disclose your full name – first and last name is enough.

🔸 Do not disclose your age or birth date.

🔸 Do not disclose the exact dates of your employment at a company – focus on the duration instead.

🔸 Do not disclose the specific locations of your past employers – company name is enough.

🔸 Get a separate phone number specifically for work-related stuff.

🔸 Use a disposable email address for job-related correspondence.

🔸 Skip listing hobbies – they are not relevant to recruiters.

🔸 Do not include a personal photo, obvious.

🔸 Do not upload your resume/cv file online.

🔸 Avoid disclosing your phone number on your resume/cv – most recruiters communications nowadays are done via email or LinkedIn.

🔸 List only relevant job experiences rather than including every past position.

🔸 If you use LinkedIn, manage your privacy settings by setting your profile to private mode.

Find balance between discretion and disclosure. No one cares you worked at McDonald's 15 years ago while applying for an IT job. You don't have to disclose every single detail about your life. If a recruiter requests too much personal information, you can either exit, or simply lie (they won't fact check anything).

In general, concise resumes are more effective, so focus on essential information to increase your chances of selection while safeguarding your privacy.

Once you secure a job, disable your LinkedIn account and contact all companies you submitted your resume/cv to and request the deletion of your personal information.
