Online data security is always important to ClearanceJobs. We would like to take a minute to remind you of some important tips:
- Keep your machine up to date with the latest security patches.
- Create a separate email specifically for job hunting, separate from your personal email account.
- Make sure you have an up-to-date anti-virus product installed and running on your machine.
- Avoid using a Social Security number on your resume.
- Don’t provide any non-work related personal information over the phone or online. This includes your hair and eye color, marital status, etc.
- Leave references off of a publicly posted resume.
- Never provide credit card or bank account numbers or related information.
- Be cautious when dealing with contacts outside of your own country.
- Never give out your ClearanceJobs username or password to anyone.
Finally, here are some things ClearanceJobs does and doesn’t do:
- We don’t send out emails with executable or compressed (zipped) files, or attachments other than PDF and Word documents.
- We don’t ask you for your personal financial information in an email, and never ask for credit card information to be sent via email.
- We don’t ask you for your password via phone or email, ever. (You will only be required to enter your password when logging onto ClearanceJobs.com).
- We do electronically sign our email using recognized industry standards, to verify our identity and guard against spoofing.
