I kid you not, I just reviewed the second resume this week, where the candidate put their social sercurity number on their resume. I don't even know how to react to that. Clearly, these people aren't getting an interview, but should I email these applicants and tell them why it's a bad idea to put their SS on their resumes?

Oh dear lord 🤦‍♀️. Some people should not have unsupervised access to the internet. Yes, please, for their sake tell them not to do this. There are SO many job scams out there. It'd be a miracle if they haven't fallen victim to one yet...

Wow! I have yet to see that thankfully. I don't know why anyone would put their social on their resume. That seems like a good way to end up getting scammed.

I would email them. I would feel awful knowing their personal data is floating around. A short, kind note explaining the risk could genuinely protect them. It shows professionalism and humanity at the same time.

Oh dear, yes I would probably email them to just make them aware, could be a simple mistake.

🫣 Are we sure it's not a phone number? (Please be a phone number!)

Yeesh - haven't seen that, but wow.. talk about scary.

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago.

I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.
