personal information on resumes and profiles

Since shopthejobs.com is a career site, we give you three options regarding the accessibility of your resume:

1. You can store your resume in our database, but not allow it to be searchable by potential employers. Not allowing your resume to be searchable means that you can use it to apply for a job online, but employers will not have access to search it through our resume database product.

2. If you allow your resume to be searchable without making it confidential and hiding your contact information, then all parties with access to our searchable resume database (or copies thereof) will have access to your resume.

3. If you have a confidential resume, but apply to a job posting on shopthejobs.com, the employer to whom you send your resume will be able to view your contact information.

IF YOU ELECT TO MAKE YOUR RESUME VIEWABLE BY EMPLOYERS, ALL INFORMATION, (INCLUDING PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION), THAT YOU INCLUDE IN YOUR RESUME MAY BE VIEWED BY RECRUITERS AND EMPLOYERS. YOU SHOULD NOT ENTER ANY INFORMATION IN THE BODY OF THE RESUME THAT YOU WISH TO REMAIN CONFIDENTIAL.

In addition, portions of your searchable resume (but not your contact information) may be made public in your shopthejobs.com profile. We attempt to limit access to our searchable resume database only to paying employers, recruiters, hiring managers and human resource professionals, as well as law enforcement and national security agencies, but cannot guarantee that other parties will not gain access to this database. We are not responsible for the use made of resumes by third parties who access such resumes while they are in our searchable database. However, the portions of your searchable resume (not your contact information) that are automatically made public in your shopthejobs.com profile are accessible to anyone who uses the shopthejobs.com profile service. You may remove your resume from shopthejobs.com or delete your profile on shopthejobs.com at anytime, but, employers, recruiters and others who have paid for access to the shopthejobs.com resume database or to obtain a copy of that database or have paid for access to the shopthejobs.com services, as well as parties who have otherwise gained access may have retained a copy of your resume or shopthejobs.com profile in their own files or databases. We are not responsible for the retention, use or privacy of resumes or profiles in these instances.

Please remember that if you post any of your personal information in public areas of shopthejobs.com, such as in online forums, blogs, chat rooms, or in the shopthejobs.com searchable resume database, such information may be collected and used by others over whom we have no control.
