Why they need this...

[Wduaqnug]

we have reviewed your application and would like to invite you for an interview.
In preparation for your interview we would request that you bring a handwriting sample with you, this should be done in your normal handwriting - contain the date, your signature and indicate if you are right or left handed. The sample should be done on blank paper (not lined) and this is a standard procedure of NETWORK for all applicants considered for employment.

So they can link you to crimes if something comes up and they need a sample from all people involved.

I cant write a straight line and my handwritting is not neat. DISCRIMINATION!!!!

It's so they can scan it in and paste it onto a bunch of documents so it looks like you signed them. Things like "I choose to decline health insurance" and "I am requesting working hours of midnight to 11 AM, with three one-hour breaks".

Not really. I have no idea what useful purpose that could serve at an interview.

Well, unless the job is for testing out straight-jackets, it looks like he's out of luck.

Thanks so much for not telling us what job you're applying for, and thus invalidating any responses given here.

That seems a bit intrusive. Is this a security job/company, or what?

They've stated that it's a standard procedure, so don't ask why they do it! Hehe.... Well, really, I couldn't tell why they have such procedure, unless I knew what job it was. Is it bank related? Would you have direct access to cash, checks, ummm...? :-/ It would seem to me that they are concerned about forgery.

OMG! Write a letter to the president of the company, your attorney general, your senator, your representative, the president, the owner of the paper company on which you are required to write on, the owner of the pen you would use to write your statement, spunky's biological father, spunky's biological mother wolf, the president of micronesia, the residents of micronesia, and god.

That should cover it, right?
