[Fredslist] Posting resumes

[Ester Horowitz]

While it certainly is a fredslist tradition to help those close to us  
find work especially in this economic downturn by posting their resume  
as a convenience for all of us, you should at least consider the  
potential of identity theft it may cause. We are a closed network of  
honorable people so it is not the tribe that concerns me.

It only takes having a person's name and one other piece of  
information for a serious case of identity theft to occur. In addition  
50% of ID theft occurs from someone we know.

We may want to rethink the practice. What if we were to state a  
description about the person we know and what position they are  
looking for instead of posting a resume? Offer their email address to  
request the resume. It removes the threat of ID Theft and any  
potential liability to gothamites as well.

  In an effort to help let's at least be cognizant of the electronic  
frontier we live in...its assets as well as its liability.  Just MHO
