That's exactly what I do. As a contractor my resume was spread so widely and
with some dubious agencies, I didn't want too many random people contacting my
references if they were not considering me for a job, either seeking info on me
or selling their own services.

When I did hiring I was often amazed at the amount of personal information
people put on their CVs. One guy I dubbed 'the fat star wars fan'.
