Question: Is a job seeker more likely to get an interview by providing their Social Security number on an application?

I was under the impression that the SS# is not necessary, unless one has accepted a position, so that the employer can withhold taxes, pay Social Security, FICA, etc. With identify theft being such a concern nowadays, should job seekers be giving their SS# out on all applications, whether online or in writing?

Answer: It should make no difference as far as hiring you…in fact…it is probably safer to leave it off the application….anybody who handles your application can see your SS#
