So you've got the interview nailed perfectly, and all that's left is to run your background check and you will be hired.
Great, except for the fact that you aren't sure whether or not your little mishap with the law 7 years ago is going to actually show up.
Do you risk putting it on the application and having them reject you because of your past? Or do you not put it on there and risk them actually being able to find it on your public background check, this is the problem many people face.
The answer to the problem is quite simple.
You can actually run a comprehensive background check on yourself and find out exactly what will and won't show up when the check is actually ran.
This is helpful for many reasons, but mainly to save you the embarrassment of getting caught having a dirty past.
So what can they possibly find anyways? Depending on if it was reported correctly through the courts, your background check from your employer may include prior arrests, tickets, court judgments against your name, and any aliases or past addresses you may have had.
Despite popular belief, your background check doesn't show who your previous employers were so you are safe on that section of the employment application.
For a small fee, you are able to have full access to your own, or anyone else's background information in a matter of a few short moments.
No longer do you have to pay expensive private detective fee's and have to wait weeks to find out what is able to be found.
Now all you need is a name and an approximate age! Don't risk your potential job because of something you did 7 years ago that MIGHT show up on your background report.
Do yourself a favor and find out what's going to actually show up before you write anything down on your application!
