Besides applying to big companies like AMR/RM, is it safe to apply online to smaller companies where there's little to no information about these companies?
Does anyone feel comfortable scanning their cert documents, driver's license, etc. and submitting them online? Especially when they ask for your social security number/personal information? Some of the websites aren't even https secured and I'm worried about identify theft/fraud.
I haven't applied to any positions online yet (only in person so far), but I plan on applying to companies located around where my parents live (3 hours away), so if I can get a job over there, I can move back in with my parents if need be. It would be a lot more convenient if I can apply online though, saves time and $. So what does this community think about applying for a job online to smaller, not well known companies?
Another question = when calling the company you applied to, how would you ask for the status of my application without sounding annoying and desperate? Is calling them every 2 weeks on the status of my application excessive?
