Are People Really Submitting Partial SSNs On Online Job Forms
Thu, 2009-07-23 17:42
As I've been engaged in a job hunt I've been dealing more and more with applying for jobs online and I've begun to notice a disturbing trend. A number of sites from reputable firms have been asking for the last 4 digits of my SSN as well as my birthday. Now that these firms also require you to have an account on their site to apply for a job, they ask you to answer "personal questions" so they can reset your password, commonly your place is birth is used.
