While updating my CV, do we need to mention the names of the clients we handled, or should this information be kept confidential? Kindly guide me on this matter. I look forward to hearing from you.

Please check your current employment appointment letter for the confidentiality clause. If the clause clearly states that you must keep it confidential, you must adhere to the rules.

Steps to Ensure Confidentiality

For example, if I were hiring you for my organization, I would follow these steps:

1. I would review your current appointment letter to verify the details of the confidentiality clause.
2. I would question you about the clients you have worked with.

If you disclose the client list despite the confidentiality clause in your current position, I would conclude that you are not trustworthy. This behavior could indicate that you may do the same in my organization by exposing client information to future employers. In such a case, I would not reconsider your application.

This situation can be delicate. I recommend following the rules stated in your appointment letter.

Observing Best Practices

If you have the opportunity to observe how reputable companies like Google select experienced candidates, you will better understand my point.

Best of luck.
