While the Internet can be a valuable asset for job seekers and for employers, the recent hacking of Monster.com serves as a reminder to all job seekers of the dangers of placing a resume on the Internet.

That’s why the Identity Theft Resource Center, a nonprofit that focuses on identity theft issues, would like to warn job seekers not to place items on resumes posted on the Internet such as sex, age, Social Security Number (SSN), year of graduation from various schools, professional license number, driver’s license number, and EIN.

In addition, all job seekers, whether they have used the Internet or not, should verify an interview if it is not being held at the corporate headquarters or the nearest main office of a company that wants to get to know you better.
