Resume Privacy
Q. Who can see my resume?
A. We give users two options when storing their resume on our site: they can make it "private"or "public." A private resume is not searchable in our database and is available only to companies to which you apply on our site. A public resume can be viewed by bonafide employers who sign up to search our resume database. Also, resumes submitted to our database are not distributed or shared with other job sites or employment agencies.
