"I am in search of employment and ran across a bit of a dilemma that I would like some Soylent guidance. After applying for a job at CareerBuilder, I received a follow-up email which requested that I fill out their on-line application. The first field, mandatory, was Social Security Number as part of their initial screening process. My question for the community is, how would you deal with requests like this as the initial employment steps?"

I'm not a robot like you. I don't like having disks crammed into me... unless they're Oreos, and then only in the mouth.

In my state Government job-sites warn against including your ssn on apps/resumes as it is indeed illegal. My plan would be to fill out the on-line app out w/out my ssn and in some other space notate 'ssn provided upon hire' or some such - not that following my advice aver got anyone anywhere - but I've done Ok.
