Digital hygiene starts with being intentional about what you share. Treat personal details online the way you'd treat your house keys: don't hand them out.
Be careful with resumes & public profiles
A CV uploaded to a job board may expose your home address, phone, or DOB to anyone. Strip sensitive details before posting publicly.
- Use a professional email, not your personal one.
- Never include SSN, DOB, or home address on a public CV.
- Request a confidentiality hold on school directory info.
