Hi Greg, I'm a 2004 graduate of the Selznick School and was wondering what you knew about a Canadian getting hired for the below positions. The online application asks for a social security number - which I don't have not being an American Citizen. What would you suggest I do? I have a very old temp number I got through an exchange program in 1999 but I think this would just cause me more trouble. I could put all zeros in but again... Any suggestions you have are greatly appreciated!
