I am looking for new jobs as a Cloud Engineer. Being privacy conscious makes the job hunt relatively hard. I don’t use LinkedIn. But most companies publish their openings on websites like this and almost all of them are a privacy nightmare.
As soon as you make an account on them, you are bombarded with thousands of emails and targeted ads. But if I made a temporary email for this purpose, I feel I might get blacklisted.
Honestly I feel kind of sad about today’s corporate field.
You must log in or # to comment.
The only way to maintain privacy and job hunt is through a strong social network, and I’m not talking Facebook. When you have enough contacts/friends in a sector, you can ask around.
Find a company you want to work for, hack into their accounts and add yourself to their payroll.
Unless you specifically look for jobs at politically oriented organisations (eg companies that pander to the privacy-conscious crowd, non-profits, etc), I just keep my professional life and my political life separate. I’m sure most people just have a “work profile” for job stuff and keep their personal life private.
I go years between linkedin logins. Every time I log in to look at a profile or whatnot, I get bombarded with spam for months.
Hack into their system and upload your resume.
Become self-employed, I guess?
When you are job hunting you don’t want privacy, you want your info (i.e. your cv) as widely distributed and known as possible. Create a dedicated gmail account.
The key is to keep your professional internet profile andnl your private digital life separated.
