It's a slippery slope. I mean, I want a new job. But at the same time, I don't want all that info out there. What says you?

Do not put unnecessary information in and use privacy nightmare websites/software (like LinkedIn) with maximum sandboxing and protection possible (WM, VPN, probably Tails). If your job requires you to use some app, get a separate device for it (though I still wouldn't pick such a job).
