3. Choose your Contact Information & Privacy Settings Help

  • Your contact information will be autopopulated from our database when you first come to this page. Any of these fields are still editable, however.
  • If you wish to keep your name, e-mail or phone number private (undisclosed to employers searching your resume), then check the 'Keep Private' box next to these fields.
  • Marking your e-mail address as private on this page will not prevent you from receiving emails about an active resume from interested employers. Employers searching resumes have a 'private' contact capabilitity which allows them to send you a message via e-mail but without your address being disclosed to them. If you do not wish to receive emails regarding an active resume you must change its status to 'Inactive'.
