Your CV contains valuable personal and professional information, so it is important to control what you share during your job search.
Information such as your work experience, education, skills, and professional contact details may be necessary for recruitment. However, requests for passwords, verification codes, banking credentials, or other highly sensitive information should always be treated with caution.
Before providing additional personal information to a company, recruiter, or consultant, confirm who you are communicating with and why the information is required.
Do not assume that a message is trustworthy simply because it includes a company name, logo, or professional-looking email.
Share only what is necessary and always verify the recipient first.
