Any recruiter or hiring manager should be well aware of the difficult position that would put you in. Actually, indicating on the resume that they shouldn't contact them might raise a red flag for something that would otherwise be assumed. A hiring manager or recruiter should NEVER contact an employer for someone that's currently employed unless they've been encouraged to do so. I would take it off your resume, but be clear if asked that your current employer does not know that you're looking for work. Anyone else have a thought to share?

How would you write that in the resume where it does not sound like you're trying to hide something (w/c I'm not) from your prospective employer? Any advise would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
