Xiao Min, a graduate of Wuhan University in 2005, was harassed by text messages twice in a row because the employer randomly discarded the resumes of job seekers. Yesterday, Xiao Min told reporters about his experience.
/kloc-On the afternoon of 0/9, a short message popped up on Xiao Min's mobile phone: "Hello, classmate, I am the manager of a large automobile sales company in Shenzhen, and I am very interested in your excellent qualifications. I live near Wuhan University for the time being. If you are interested, please interview in the near future. " Xiao Min was very surprised: I never sent my resume to any car sales company at all. How do they know my details? To Xiao Min's surprise, she received a short message from another strange number that night: "I happened to see your resume and thought you were excellent. Can you make friends? " Xiao Min realized that he must have leaked his resume to his employer.
Xiao Min said that she recently attended many job fairs and saw some employers casually throw away piles of eliminated resumes at the venue after the job fairs. Some people with ulterior motives may get information in this way.
Xiaoyu, a 2002 graduate student of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, had a more "thrilling" experience. Last Friday, a strange man called Xiaoyu on his mobile phone, claiming to be the recruitment director of a pharmaceutical factory in Beijing. He accidentally obtained Xiaoyu's resume from other places and thought he was excellent, so he wanted to know more about him to decide whether to hire him. After truthfully answering some personal questions raised by the man, Xiaoyu, who was eager to find a job, also provided the phone number of her hometown as required.
After hanging up the phone, Xiaoyu suddenly felt something was wrong, so she immediately called home and told her that there might be a liar calling home to cheat. Sure enough, the next afternoon, Xiaoyu, who was doing an experiment, received a phone call from her family, saying that someone called and lied that Xiaoyu had a car accident at school and asked her family to remit 20,000 yuan to the designated account. Xiaoyu, who has a lingering fear, said angrily: "I heard that many employers sell resumes carefully prepared by job seekers as waste paper. Shouldn't the privacy of job seekers be respected at least? "
A staff member in charge of students' employment in Wuhan University of Technology said that because personal recent photos, contact information and other private information are clear at a glance on resumes, employers generally handle job seekers' resumes very carefully. Some units will seal all resumes of job seekers, and some units will destroy the eliminated resumes with a shredder. However, many employers have adopted a "sell-or-pay" approach to job resumes, so it is difficult to respect and protect the personal privacy of job seekers.
The staff suggested that college students should not send resumes to everyone when applying for a job, let alone post their personal information on some job-hunting websites at will, which may bring unnecessary trouble to themselves.
