Do you want to upload your resume on open job platforms or only on networking sites? Know that your employer too has access to job portals and is probably tracking your activities. Google yourself to see what potential employers can find out about you. To avoid sharing your personal life with professional contacts, use a Facebook account with a nickname.

You will identify gaps in your skill set which you can fill later via training or experience. You will also learn important keywords; add them to your resume.
