Attachment: my_resume_without_my_name_in_it

Dear Mary,

I’m thrilled to attach my anonymized resume, as requested in your recent post. I’ve diligently standardized and anonymized my resume, ensuring no personally identifiable information remains. I understand that any personal information not requested by you would exclude me from your database and the valuable services it provides, such as normalizing resumes, skills, and certificates, along with other beneficial anonymized aggregates that assist job seekers and companies in the matching process. I also acknowledge that your service does not provide visa support, so if I require visa support now or in the future to work at my chosen company, I will include this in my resume.

In my resume, you will not find my full name, address, or email address. Instead, I’ve used a pseudonym, in this case, “citronela”, for future reference and tracking of my job search progress. However, I recognize that “citronela” is unique, and I will not be using this as my nickname. I appreciate your innovative approach of maintaining a unique email address for each combination of job seeker and role. I understand that I can continue to refine my resume, and these refinements will be incorporated to track my progress if I keep emailing you at the same address. I also acknowledge the importance of adhering to the rules on how to format my email address.

However, I’ve included my city, state, province, country, and timezone to assist you. I’ve also indicated my work preferences, whether remote, hybrid, or in-office, and the distance I’m willing to travel. Since this email originates from my personal account, I understand you can normalize my pseudonym if another user wishes to use the same one. I’m aware that you’ll use this normalized pseudonym to identify me and keep my email on file for potential job matches. I also understand that for legal, financial, wellbeing, and security reasons, you’ll need to retain my email.

I commit to maintaining professional conduct and providing updates on my job search. I understand that any misconduct may result in removal from this job search tool. If I secure employment, I can request the deletion of my email from your file, but my anonymized data will continue to assist future job seekers.

I’ve provided links to the websites of my previous employers, if available, or information on whether the company has been acquired or ceased to exist. This will aid you in normalizing the rest of my data. I understand that you’re still refining the process, so I’ll monitor your blog posts and provide feedback on my job search when requested.

I’d like to clarify that I’m not necessarily seeking employment at this time, but I’m interested in trying out your service. I trust in your confidentiality and understand that you won’t store my data in the cloud. I also appreciate your commitment to keeping my potential job search as discreet as possible and not providing my profile to my current employer.

On the other hand, I understand the importance of honesty about my job status. While I may still list my last job as open on LinkedIn, I assure you that the information about my current employment status in your records is accurate. I believe this honesty will help everyone move forward.

Now that I’ve agreed to your rules, here are some fun facts about me:

[Tell me about something fun that you have been doing lately]

[Tell me about what job you are looking for in your next challenges]

[Give me a small summary about your skills]

[Feel free still to include something extra]

[In case I have some cool public stories available, I will include them here. I understand that you will use these to build a bigger picture about me. I also will ensure that you have all the information available about my portfolio that I built over the last years.]

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best Regards, Citronela
