We are always recruiting for drivers and our best ad responses always come from the Craigslist post that I run every few days. The problem with Craigslist readers is that you have a braod spectrum of applicants, from guys with a masters degree to retired fellows to girls looking for extra money without having to pay for a babysitter. I never know what I’m going to get when I answer the phone.
Tonight I had a call from a young lady that said she had a question to ask before I went into the details of the job. She asked if not having a social security card would be a problem? WTF? So then she goes on to explain that she is here in America on a student visa, and that students are not supposed to work for the first year they are here on their visa. After they have been here for that first year, then they can apply for a social security card. so she’s not supposed to work but she wants a job with my company. Um, no, but thanks for calling.
Actually, I am not that familiar with visas and green cards, but I can tell you that I will never knowingly do anything to try to circumnavigate our immigration laws. I will have to check on that visa stipulation about not working the first year - I’ve not heard of that before and I’m not sure I understand the logic in it. But I do know that if you don’t have a social security card, you can’t work for me.
