What is your Confidential Profiles database?
The greatest thing since sliced bread? Maybe not, but it is a terrific way for you to make yourself known to potential employers. You create a Confidential Profile using a simple form that outlines your professional experience and education (but no personal contact information) and enter it in a searchable database. Employers can search the database for likely matches to their open positions. Even if you're not on the job market, a Confidential Profile in the searchable database could turn up opportunities for part-time teaching, online teaching, even contract research work. When a potential employer finds a match, an anonymous link allows them to compose an e-mail to you, delivered by Inside Higher Ed. If you like what you see, you contact the employer. Your confidentiality is maintained until you choose to make yourself known. Consider it a treasure hunt in reverse - and you're the treasure. Go to your dashboard to create a confidential profile now.
