Thank you, Christine, for also sharing my "curiosity." I sent an email yesterday afternoon, expressing my curiosity as to why they would want a Social Security number with a résumé. I understand why it would be needed if a person was selected; however, not why it would be needed merely to apply. I know this is now moving into areas "non-musuem" related. However, if anyone might know the answer or have ideas, I would love to hear from them off-list. I have been growing concerned about the carefree way in which many people toss these numbers. -- Lisa Shockley Collections Technician, Union Station, Kansas City KC Museum/Science City Where there is Peace, there is Culture; Where there is Culture, there is Peace.” (Nicholas Roerich) ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
