What's my risk?

Hi,
In a desperate attempt at finding work today. I responded to a number of craigslist job posting ad by sending them my resume, forgetting to realize that my resume has my address, cell number, and e-mail on it. What are my risks of having my home address being used for malicious purposes?

Although your name and address could be used to back up a scammer's storyline, it's rare.
The information you have given has no financial value and can probably be found with a little effort in the public domain.

Identity theft is too much like hard work for an employment scammer. He wants quick, easy money.
I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

Just adding a small observation. Possibly, you may or may not notice unwanted email activity or recieve scam emails as a result. However by being careful and knowing the good from the bad, you should be fine.
The scammers are only there to skim you. When they realise it won't happen, you'll be left alone.
I don't think you have too many worries if you're careful with it.

What are my risks of having my home address being used for malicious purposes?

Think about this: Is there anything to connect to your home address that would make it more of a target than any address a burglar walking down the street might target? Worst case scenario is that portrayed in the movie The Jerk, where some nut working off his anger targeted someone from the phone book at random for assassination.

Does your resume say anything like, "I live alone, keep a very regular schedule, and have lots of jewelry and valuable art objects laying around the house"? The ordinary info in a resume has nothing to attract break-ins. Although some financial institutions do use your home address as part of the info used to verify your identity, it would be in addition to such items as your mother's maiden name and your Social Security number. Although employers will need to know your SS#, there is no need to give it in advance of the time you actually start working.

haha, thanks Robert! I like your analogy.
