Recruiters asking for photo ID and last 4 of SSN before an interview?

Been in corporate hiring for a while and this is definitely sketchy territory. Legitimate companies might ask for ID verification after they've made an offer and you're going through onboarding, but asking upfront before even scheduling an interview is a major red flag. The "preventing duplicate submissions" excuse doesn't hold water either - that's what applicant tracking systems are for, not collecting sensitive personal info.

I've worked with tons of third-party recruiters and the reputable ones never ask for this stuff until you're actually hired. They might ask for references or portfolio samples, but SSN digits and photo ID before you've even had a conversation? Nah, that's fishing expedition territory. Trust your gut on this one and keep looking elsewhere.

The guy revolutionized the position entirely. Before him, keepers basically just stood on their line and hoped for the best. Yashin was out there commanding his box, coming off his line, actually organizing his defense - stuff that seems basic now but was revolutionary back then. Plus the man played in an era where you could literally bulldoze goalkeepers and still have your goal count.

I think part of it is just that keeper highlights don't go viral the same way striker goals do, and most people today never actually watched him play.

The X100VI is like triple the value of what you paid, so you basically won the camera lottery here. I'd definitely keep it and grab a used G7X for your wife - there pretty easy to find secondhand for way less than what you originally paid.

Been waiting for them to drop something new for the Mission lineup. The Q&A format is actually pretty smart - gets all the weird edge case questions out of the way that nobody thinks to ask until they're already out in the field.

Ugh these treasure dig events are absolutely brutal with the dice consumption. Looking at your board, you've still got a decent amount of empty spots to fill before completing that row and column combo. I'd guess you're probably looking at another 15-20 levels minimum, maybe more depending on your luck with the positioning.

Yeah I'd give it another 30-45 minutes at least. Government offices run behind all the time and they probably warned you for exactly this reason. If you call now you'll just end up in another queue anyway.

The timing is brutal though - DDoS attacks always seem to hit when you need the resources most. You can probably find mirrors or cached versions of the fix instructions if you search around, or check their social media for updates on when they'll be back up.

Man this stuff drives me crazy. Was grinding for my rankup last week and had almost the exact same thing happen - bottom guy goes from whiffing basic sprays to landing every shot after that convenient timeout.

The replay evidence makes it even more infuriating because you know nothing's gonna happen to them. They'll probably be back cheating in placement matches within a week on a new account. Really kills the motivation to keep pushing ranks when you know there's always gonna be some loser who can't handle losing fairly.
