2、that involves fraud or deception, typically for economic gain. The numbers associated with identity theft are beginning to add up fast these days. A recent General Accounting Office report estimates that as many as 750,000 Americans are victims of identity theft every year. And that number may be lo

3、w, as many people choose not to report the crime even if they know they have been victimized. Identity theft is “an absolute epidemic,“ states Robert Ellis Smith, a respected author and advocate of privacy. “It“s certainly picked up in the last four or five years. It“s worldwide. It affects everybod

4、y, and there“s very little you can do to prevent it and, worst of all, you can“t detect it until it“s probably too late.“ Unlike your fingerprints, which are unique to you and cannot be given to someone else for their use, your personal data, especially your social security number, your bank account

5、 or credit card number, your telephone calling card number, and other valuable identifying data, can be used, if they fall into the wrong hands, to personally profit at your expense. In the United States and Canada, for example, many people have reported that unauthorized persons have taken funds ou

6、t of their bank or financial accounts, or, in the worst cases, taken over their identities altogether, running up vast debts and committing crimes while using the victims“ names. In many cases, a victim“s losses may include not only out-of-pocket financial losses, but substantial additional financia

7、l costs associated with trying to restore his reputation in the community and correcting erroneous information for which the criminal is responsible. According to the FBI, identity theft is the number one fraud committed on the Internet. So how do job seekers protect themselves while continuing to c

8、irculate their resumes online? The key to a successful online job search is learning to manage the risks. Here are some tips for staying safe while conducting a job search on the Internet. 1. Check for a privacy policy. If you are considering posting your resume online, make sure the job search site

9、 you are considering has a privacy policy, like CareerBuilder. com. The policy should spell out how your information will be used, stored and whether or not it will be shared. You may want to think twice about posting your resume on a site that automatically shares your information with others. You

10、could be opening yourself up to unwanted calls from solicitors (推销员). When reviewing the site“s privacy policy, you“ll be able to delete your resume just as easily as you posted it. You won“t necessarily want your resume to remain out there on the Internet once you land a job. Remember, the longer y

11、our resume remains posted on a job board, the more exposure, both positive and not-so-positive, it will receive. 2. Take advantage of site features. Lawful job search sites offer levels of privacy protection. Before posting your resume, carefully consider your job search objectives and the level of

12、risk you are willing to assume. CareerB, for example, offers three levels of privacy from which job seekers can choose. The first is standard posting. This option gives job seekers who post their resumes the most visibility to the broadest employer audience possible. The second is anonymous (匿名的) po

13、sting. This allows job seekers the same visibility as those in the standard posting category without any of their contact information being displayed. Job seekers who wish to remain anonymous but want to share some other information may choose which pieces of contact information to display. The thir

14、d is private posting. This option allows a job seeker to post a resume without having it searched by employers. Private posting allows job seekers to quickly and easily apply for jobs that appear on CareerBuilder. corn without retyping their information. 3. Safeguard your identity. Career experts sa

15、y that one of the ways job seekers can stay safe while using the Internet to search out jobs is to conceal their identities. Replace your name on your resume with a generic (泛指的) identifier, such as “Intranet Developer Candidate,“ or “Experienced Marketing Representative.“ You should also consider e

16、liminating the name and location of your current employer. Depending on your title, it may not be all that difficult to determine who you are once the name of your company is provided. Use a general description of the company such as “Major auto manufacturer,“ or “International packaged goods suppli

17、er.“ If your job title is unique, consider using the generic equivalent instead of the exact title assigned by your employer. 4. Establish an email address for your search. Another way to protect your privacy while seeking employment online is to open up an email account specifically for your online

18、 job search. This will safeguard your existing email box in the event someone you don“t know gets hold of your email address and shares it with others. Using an email address specifically for your job search also eliminates the possibility that you will receive unwelcome emails in your primary mailb

19、ox. When naming your new email address, be sure that it doesn“t contain references to your name or other information that will give away your identity. The best solution is an email address that is relevant to the job you are seeking such as salesmgr 2004 provider, com. 5. Protect your references. I

20、f your resume contains a section with the names and contact information of your references, take it out. There“s no sense in safeguarding your information while sharing private contact information of your references. 6. Keep confidential(机密的) information confidential. Do not, under any circumstances

21、 share your social security, driver“s license, and bank account numbers or other personal information, such as race or eye color. Honest employers do not need this information with an initial application. Don“t provide this even if they say they need it in order to conduct a background check. This

How“s it going?“ “Oh, fine. Fine. How about this weather, huh?“ “Well, I guess we can al

42、ways use the rain.“ What“s that? This story? Oh, just a little look at small talk. You know, those seemingly meaningless conversations you have dozens of times a day. Maybe you“re waiting for the elevator. Or in a line at the bank. It all seems pretty trivial. Idle chatter about traffic doesn“t do m

43、uch more than fill the air with empty words that are quickly forgotten. But you should know that small talk actually has a big place in our lives. Pat Oliver, assistant professor on arts, says that, “Left unchecked, small talk can be an invasion, It“s so powerful. It does something to you.“ “Every m

44、orning after spending an hour and a half on the freeway I start the day with small talk with my secretary,“ Oliver says, “If I don“t make small connection with another person, I can“t work.“ What causes it? As a rule, you“re either trying to force something into your life, or you“re using conversati

45、on as an invisible force field to keep them out. You can be wanting to connect with another person, and small talk is your introduction to more meaningful conversation. The way people use small talk is usually determined by where they happen to be at the time. Take the elevator, for instance. Now th

46、ere“s prime territory. Nobody knows anyone and there“s no reason to start a conversation, but invariably, someone does. Making conversation in such peaceful social settings, according to Oliver, “can confirm your territory. It“s a way of feeling liked and accepted.“ The topics of small talk don“t ma

47、tter. In fact, you don“t want anything more taxing than the weather or the traffic. It“s non-threatening talk in a threatening situation. However, the rules change quickly when you“re with lots of people doing lots of talking. Let“s say you“re at a party. Now it“s time to use small talk as a way of

48、making others feel more comfortable around you, so you don“t look silly standing by the food table alone all night.（分数：10.00）(1).“Small talk“, as interpreted by the author, _.（分数：2.00）A.has no real function in communication at allB.is usually meaningless and therefore uselessC.is not as idle as it m
