I post my CV to expatjobs.com. This site inturn posts my CV on google search engine.I really feel bad.My name is Habteleul.If you searched this name using google,you will get my CV.How can i remove it from this page.

Thanks;

The short answer is that you probably can't. Once something is out on the internet it's copied and mirrored and archived in so many places that removal next to impossible. Check out this article: How do I remove myself from the search engines?

I tried this on a site I made and Google ignored the robots.txt - of course this is if you can even get the webmaster to add a robots.txt to remove a link you don't want! most won't.

To remove a google link there are some companies that specialize in this, just off the top of my head: www.Cyberfootprints.com, [removed broken links]. I can't vouch for any of them but that may be your only option if a webmaster won't remove a link.

good luck!
