their identities. Replace your name on your resume with a generic (泛指的) identifier, such as "Intranet Developer
Candidate," or "Experienced Marketing Representative."

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 supplier."

in your primary mailbox. When naming your new email address, be sure that it doesn’t contain references to your name

you are seeking such as Salesmgr2004@provider.com.
