Your CV represents your professional identity; treat it like a confidential document. There are countless stories of CVs being casually shared from one friend to another, then to a colleague, and eventually ending up on the desk of the candidate’s current employer.

Don’t let your CV circulate without control. Be intentional about who you share it with. Keep a clear record of where you apply and which companies have your information.

This is your career and your future; handle it with care and act thoughtfully.
