I guess we need to continue to do research when applying for a job... :roll:

Egads. But again, who on earth would really give out their bank account information, even to a potential employer? The only way in which a company gets my banking info is once I'm employed and it's used to setup direct deposit. There is no way on earth I would ever give out some random company from the internet my banking details.

Add to that, who doesn't do company research before submitting an application? Wouldn't you want to know about the company so you can personalize & customize your cover letter at the very least??

As Bob Turney said in the clip, "it's common sense where, for a lot of people, common sense is not that common."
