The better question here would be why are they asking me for my social security number. I personally wouldn't put it on there, but I don't remember applying for a job that they asked me for mine. |

I would leave it blank until they want to hire you and ask you for it. My dentist asked for my social security number on my patient form and I thought...why do you need this for a teeth cleaning? Leave it blank until someone asks and has a specific purpose for having it. |

no it's not safe. don't do it. your SS number is hardly something they can consider relevant in the interview...oh mister smith i see you have the number 3 in your SS number...would you like to expand on this??
you give your SS number to your employer once you have the job...not before. |

you should not have to put it on a job application unless they have to do some kind of background check. |

I would NOT. You have good reason for not doing this. Many of the applications will be thrown away in the garbage, and who knows who will be going through the trash hunting this very info. If your prospective employer ask why you left out the SS#, just tell him that you will be happy to supply it upon being hired, and NOT before. |

I have heard you should put available upon request. |

no it is not safe...they actually stold my dads identity and try to mess up his credit just because someone found his ss#. if you dont want to have problems then dont do that. maybe you should have your credit checked. |

I don't think putting your social security # is a must, unless
they are doing a back ground check. |

Many people put all numbers except the first three. This shows you are serious about the job but also serious about identity theft. When you get the job, then you can inform payroll or Human Resources of the first three. This is really a fairly standard practice now, and you are wise to be cautious. That application will sift through several hands. |

theres more than your ss number needed to steal your identity. its normal to be asked to put your number on the paper. You can refuse of course, but that could make your future boss think you have something to hide. Using your ss number they can see if you have been a good boy so to say. |

This is a difficult question to answer correctly. Yes it should be safe. However, many businesses do not keep applicants information where they should and when it is time to discard that info some do not do it properly. You can always sue the business if your number goes out to hurt you because of them but that is very hard to prove. |

if it is a reputable buisness then yes, if your not sure about the place don't you are not forced to unless they do a extensive background check wait see if you get hired then give it to them, that is how i do it and ive never had a problem with the potential employers |
