"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?"

    There is nothing in a credit report that would logically convince me that a person was more than a risk than any other person

    I guess the HR people at my bank see it differently. You can't get a job there unless you have good credit. Now that I think about it, it's the same way at the casino near me too.
