Hey Sera. It's hard to say without a bit more context but as a rule I'd only share my resume with someone who I'd verified as a genuine employer. Usually that'd be applying through a job's site like SEEK, an employment agency or a trusted referral. I wouldn't worry too much now, I don't think there's much you could do now anyway. But there can be some less than reputable people out there so might be worth asking if they have a job up online you can apply for.

If it stresses you out, just leave your street address off next time. Name & email is pretty standard I reckon.
