Account Help

How do I remove my account?

While we're sorry to see you go, we completely understand folks who wish to keep a clean trail online. To remove your account, visit your account settings area by clicking on the 'Account' link at the top of the screen. From here, click "Account Removal". Your account will be removed immediately, 100% from our system as soon as you confirm. If you could, please let us know why you are removing your account in the feedback area of the account removal screen. We take user feedback pretty seriously around here!

I've removed my account, but my resume website is still showing up in Google search results. Why is that?

Google and other search engines periodically seek out and index information that is posted on the web. This indexing process doesn't happen everyday, however, so when changes are made to a website (like the removal of your profile), it is sometimes 1-2 weeks before the search engines reflect those changes.

If you have removed your account and resume website and are still seeing those pages in search results, be patient. Normally within 1-2 weeks, the search results will update, and you will no longer appear.
