How to NOT Dox Yourself

Keeping yourself safe is pretty standard advice.

So is making sure that when you hand your resume to someone who is a complete stranger to you to "fix" that they are someone you trust with that information. A stranger can go and see where you are working, and if you are getting out of an abusive relationship, you don't want that person knowing where you are since they are not capable of respecting your boundaries and treating you with respect.They have the potential and will/might just cause drama with the people around you and get you fired. A stranger who may be a win-at-all-costs sadistic, bruised ego type can have access to your references that may have loved you and your work ethic before, and "furnace your references".

Get it? Like, you can furnish or provide the references but those same people can have the relationship bridge be "furnaced"... like burnt. Scorched earth, burned bridges... no more friends...no support system....(geez... at least chuckle a little... i'll take a groan or rolled eyes.... lol)

Anyway, that bridge to your reference helping you out will be burned by a stranger pretending to help you... JUST FOR YOU! You didn't need them anyway! Because why have people make sure you can keep a roof over your head when you can struggle instead? Why have people be concerned for your wellbeing when you can have those people ignoring you when they said that you can always visit them and count on them? Who needs references and peers from top universities or colleagues granting a good word or business oppurtunities? Certainly not you!

Oh wait... you actually want those references and need a good word put in for you to advocate for your personality or work ethic? Then make sure who ever is working on your resume actually is trusted, or just look on google for some templates and examples. Sometimes a basic resume is better to land the job of your dreams than one barely being edited that hinders your ability to freely choose a career or job of your choice.
