Job Search Privacy Workbook: Clean Your Online Presence & Spot Job Scams | Printable PDF

Before you hit apply, have you…

• …Googled yourself the way a recruiter would?
• …cleaned up old posts and tagged photos?
• …taken your home address off your résumé?
• …hidden your search from your current employer?
• …checked that the "recruiter" messaging you is real?
• …been asked for your SSN before you had an offer?

Recruiters Google you, and so do scammers. A job search puts you on display: your social media becomes part of your first impression, your résumé carries personal data, you're applying to companies you can't fully verify, and fake recruiters work the job boards looking for eager applicants.

This workbook helps you look hireable and stay private. Use its 3 pages of checkboxes and write-in blanks to clean up your online presence, protect your personal data, and spot job scams before they cost you anything.

What's inside (9 sections):

• Your Info: a dedicated job-search email, the phone number you'll list and your LinkedIn URL.
• Google Yourself: search engines, image search and the first 3 pages of results.
• Social Media Cleanup: private accounts, old posts, tagged photos and throwaway accounts.
• LinkedIn Essentials: your photo, a complete profile, 2FA, Open to Work settings and connection requests.
• Résumé Data: what to leave off, including your home address, birthdate, references and personal handles.
• Job-Board Privacy: visibility settings, hiding your search from your employer, auto-apply and old accounts.
• Scam Defense: fee requests, text-only interviews, check-and-forward schemes, and verifying the company.
• Interview Data Protection: what not to share until you have a signed offer.
• Confidence Scorecard: rate yourself from 1 to 5.

What you'll learn:

• How to Google yourself like a recruiter
• What to lock down on social media
• What to leave off your résumé
• How to job-hunt without your boss knowing
• The red flags of a fake job offer
• What you should never share before an offer

Who it's for: active job seekers, recent graduates, career changers, anyone searching quietly while still employed, and anyone who's received a "too good to be true" job offer.
