11、l be shared. You may want to think twice about posting your resume on a site that automatically shares your information with others. You could be opening yourself up to unwanted calls from solicitors (推销员).When reviewing the sites privacy policy, youll be able to delete your resume just as easily as
12、 you posted it. You wont necessarily want your resume to remain out there on the Internet once you land a job.
