Posting resume online?

[Deleted]

I'm in mental health and recently was advised by someone (who works in HR) to post my résumé online to sites like simplyhired.com, indeed.com, etc to get more job options. I'm a bit hesitant about it simply due to my field. I have worked with some clients who would be considered dangerous (paranoid schizophrenia, etc), and I don't feel as though putting my personal data out there online would be a smart thing to do.

How secure are those sites? What other options can you suggest that would be viable options for those of us in mental health?

Post a confidential resume. First initial and last name (or some soft of combination of that), use a new email address, no ph #.

You can also list your employer names as confidential and just give dates and job description

I've posted resumes online. I excluded my phone number and used a new e-mail like PP suggested.

I would look around on those sites first, and see if there are jobs there like what you're wanting. If there aren't, I might try to find a site more specialized to your profession. I would assume on those more tailored sites it would be less likely that a past client would stumble across it.
