Business interview practices question - survey's need Social Security numbers now?
I went into a job interview to Menards, and the first bit of paperwork they asked for was a 'survey' that had 25 questions that basically asked if I was a thief, drug-user, or drug dealer. That's fine in itself, but they demanded I put my full social security number on the 'survey' because they needed the record.
Is this standard interview procedure now? And should SS numbers be attached to 'surveys'?
For the record I pointedly asked if they needed the SS number for it, and they said yes. When I refused the 'interview' was over. Walked out feeling like I was accused of being a thief and drug dealer and didn't do a good job defending myself. Why do they need my SS number attached to such a blatantly offensive questionnaire for? So if they believe I steal or deal drugs, they can go to court have documentation that I denied I was over a dozen times?!?!? What is the point of making employees think they are working for a company that is hypersensitive about them being thieves and druggies? That even a malicious rumor will get you fired?

2 AnswersMusic & Music Players6 years agoRevealing previous and expected salary in resumes, should I? Why and why not?
I remember my own dad telling me to to tell people how much I actually make, and I remember news shows that said many resumes are rejected if they name any price. Yet as I post my resume around different sites, and talk to different employers, they're always asking me what salary I am looking for.
Is there a good reason for this? How freely should I talk about expected salary? And if I shouldn't even mention it until they are willing to hire me, how should I handle such questions before that?
Note; my father ran a company that employed over 100 people and make a couple million dollar profit for over 20 years.

As soon as Liberals think they can get away from something, they do it. Who cares about actual right and wrong anymore in Liberal ideology? Just who currently has political prestige and who doesn't.

8 AnswersOther - Politics & Government7 years agoHelp removing Ad ware on my computer. Norton and AdAware are not helping much?
I have this Ad ware on my computer, but Norton and AdAware scans are not helping to remove it. Maybe someone knows something more specific on this one?
It is doing two things;
One, it is doing is opening windows and tabs to the following sites;
http://annualconsumersurvey.com/
Two, it is finding different text on a webpage and converting it to a hyperlink that pops up an ads when my mouse is over it. The pop-up says they're "Ads by Supra Savings'.

Is this something Geek Squad can fix, or other computer repair? Maybe call up Norton and have them look at it directly?

3 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs7 years agoI have 3 monitors connected to my computer, but can apparently only use two at once. How do I set up 3 monitors at once?
I have two monitors hooked up normally, then a third attached by HDMI. All connected to the same graphics card. But when I try to set up their arrangement in "Screen Resolution" Windows 7 only allows me to have two active windows at once. Even when I try to duplicate the monitors, have monitor "2" and "3" show the same thing, I get a "Unable to save display setting error".
What is going on, and what do I need to do to get all three monitors in on my computer at the same time, even if two of them are duplicate views?

And I am asking because when I do a search for "Task Manager" in the app store, I just get apps for manageing my phone/tablet/computer programs. Not a task manager like you would find in outlook, which is what I want.
Heck, if anyone can tell me the term to search for instead of a "Task Manager", that would help as well!
