I'm applying for a job but what does it mean when it says that a notary has to sign the application??? |
and what exactly is a notary?? As far as I know, a resume is not a legal document. Some job applications have to be notarized, and all that is is having an official witness state that you signed the document. It has nothing to do with the contents of the documents, and actually a notary public does not need to read the document that you are signing. They only state that you singed it. **** They have added something to the application that constitutes a contract with you. It is your agreement and actual signature the notary must witness you sign. **** The notary will need to see your identification and will record that for her/his records. ***** ***** If you need to notarize, you need a lawyer to look at it. ***** ***** This perspective employer is expecting you to enter into a contract with them when they have not hired you yet. No professional employer would do that. Since there is not financial compensation for the employment application the contract lacks legality. ********************** ************** ********** ********** *************** ********************** Run do not walk from this employment opportunity. ********************** John - They do not want to prove he filled it out, notaries do not atest to who filled it out, only to the signature. When you are hired it is common to get the emplyer to verify documents and statements then. This is done in front of the employers staff not a notary who can only atest to the signature. There is a contractual obligation in the application. ************************ ************ ****** *** * A notary is a person with a fancy stamp who verifies that the person signing a document is really that person. You can find a notary at your bank or insurance company (lots of business have someone who is a notary). You usually have to pay $2 or $3, show your ID (like a driver's license) and sign the form in front of them. Then they stamp and sign it. A notary gives proof that you signed the employment application. Personally, I'd think twice about going to work for a company that required this sort of thing. They're control freaks and it will probably only get worse. Life may become unbearable there. / Your local bank has a notary, ( a person who can legally verify your signature. They must verify your signature on the application. (watch you sign) and put their notary seal (stamp) on it. Must have a drivers license or picture ID with you. Do NOT sign anything until you are in the presence of him or her. Banks do if for free, other places charge $3.-$5.00. If the bank does not have one look them up in the yellowpages. They are proving you are you. a notary, is an upstanding member of the community, law er,doctor, nurse, judge . cost $5 to get something signed. they want to prove ,you filled it out ,that's all , as you local real estate agent , they tend to be ,notary, signers been there done that I disagree with the people suggesting that you not take a job with this company simply because they asked you to get the application notarized. I am a high school English teacher and, for my most recent position, I had to do the same thing. Quite frankly, it didn't bother me at all. The school system simply needed to verify my identity so that they could hold me responsible for the information I submitted on my application. Nothing more. As long as you are planning to be truthful on your application, you have nothing to worry about. In fact, I would be impressed that the company you are applying for is so thorough! Good luck with the new job!!! |
