If you want to focus on experience, you can try some tools like http://vizualize.me/grey and integrate some of the graphics to your resume. As you can see, I've done this and included social links, too. All of the recruiters and HR people want to see that since it saves them the effort of tracking your social/facebook profiles down.
I have my FB profile locked down fairly well, I could lock it down even more I suppose. I really don't think my private time is really any of their business.
Do you maintain specific things for them to find?
Yes. I ABSOLUTELY don't use facebook and so my profiles are well-maintained. I don't publish anything that's easily searched, though I'm sure some savvy Google searching could locate non-professional stuff if they wanted to. Overall, though, my LinkedIn is the only thing people look at from a hiring perspective.

I'm quite a bit more findable than you, but not direct postings...

I like to think I'd give this show a run for their money: http://ew.com/article/2016/11/28/hunted-cbs/

LOL - Yeah I'd definitely like to give it a go... assuming my job would let me off for the time.
-
did you watch the first episode? It was crazy some of the things those people did - kept phones? left behind a written plan (ok the under page) for their entire time frame - really? It just seems like the show was setup to show people failing - i.e. director telling them how to behave.
Going to ground for 30 days, living off scraps, begging, etc.. pretty easy if you ask me. Will I be cold and hungry at the end - yeah probably, but avoiding the cops.. really not that hard for a game show.
The hardest part to hide would be the camera crew following you.

If they did something like History channel's Alone did and just give them a camera and force them to record that would be better. They could even give them a connected one that they cannot shutdown or something, as long as they restrict the records from that device from the hunters.

Agreed. I don't think this is meant to be real. Instead I see it as another way to desensitize the public about the cops tracking you.
The first episode definitely seemed to have footage that no non government contracted group should have, i.e. traffic cam footage, etc.
The ATM footage (for the show) I can understand because everyone was given a card to a special account just for this. But even that is ridiculous. Want a real show - walk up to a total stranger, get their boss's unplanned permission for them to be gone for a month (on camera) then say BANG - you just did some horrible crime and the cops will be notified in 30 mins go. First thing you do it go drain your bank account of any cash you can. If you are close enough to home, go and grab some cloths, then get the hell out of dodge.

Wait, there is a "reality" show about getting hunted by cops? How do they consider it realistic if the contestants don't have the option to kill the cops that are after them? Because if I was on the lam, with nothing else to lose, you better believe I'd be ready and willing to ice a cop or two if it would help me escape.

LOL - I was kinda wondering the same thing.
My best guess is that the thinking is that these criminals are more of the white collar type, not willing to just kill anyone in their way.

Then they certainly aren't desperate enough to make that show remotely believable. Once you take the job/car/house/wife/family from that white collar guy, he might actually show some real survival instincts. But then again, I despise the very idea of "reality" TV, and would only watch this if they truly destroyed a person's life in order to make it "real" to them.

I only see this as a way to desensitize the public to the invasion of privacy that the gov't is doing to our lives now. and trying to claim it's all for the greater good.
