Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Is this Wrongful Termination?

In the state of California, can you be dismissed from a job for simply having your resume posted on a job recruitment website?

In other words, is it legally considered 'giving notice to your employers' just because you have a resume posted on Careerbuilder.com?
