I am being cosidered for a new job and would like to find out if the prospective employer has performed a background check on me yet. (Not a credit check) I know I will receive a copy of the report in the mail but I want to know now.

Usually the company that you work for will notify you if they have done a background check.  I know when I took a management position with my company, they notified me that I would undergo a security check.

You should contact your local police department if you believe an individual is connected to crime. I am not aware if civilians can just look up criminal records for individuals.\n\nYou'll probably want to look into companies that can do background checks. Google brings up many pages about background checks. Here is a link to a search.\n\nhttp://www.google.com/search?q=background+checks&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official

Fr. Chuck's right again.  You weren't convicted of anything, so you are correct in checking "no" on your application.  The term "background check" covers a lot of territory, and what's actually uncovered in a background check depends a lot on who's doing the checking.  With a bank, I wouldn't worry a whole lot about it.  Keep in mind that in most states, if you aren't hired, you have a right to ask why.  It might be worth the peace of mind in asking, just so you'd know if potential employers are somehow finding out about your past mistake.  Good luck to you.

It may or may not. Not all employers do a credit check.  The background check is to check for criminal history. don't worry. I am sure it will work out and good luck!\n\nIt also depends on what you are applying for.  Capitol One for example will not hire based on credit history.  This employer (credit company) feels there is a risk in hiring someone with credit trouble and may commit identify fraud because of their financial troubles. \n\nI would recommend trying to work out something with the hospitals.  Most will reduce the charges are accept a very low min payment.

It depenends on the employer you are applying for. But I think, being you are going to graduate soon this means you are going to join an entry level position were refrences and credit checks are not usually important. \nHowever, when climbing the corporate ladder then this issue becomes critical and you should look for any nigatives in your credit history.

There are companies online that provide this service for employers so I'm sure there are places for regular consumers. \n\nI did a search and came up with a place I've listed below. I have done background checks on men I've gone to meet in other states.

I'm certain that you have been overlooked for a position because you have a felony on your record.  Many employers also perform background checks so if you did not list it it may come up later on to deal with.  \n\nI would suggest doing some networking so the hiring manager already has a recommendation from a trusted source.  This could help them see you as the person you are now and get your foot in the door.\n\nI would suggest leaving it blank as opposed to checking no because you do sign the application stating it is correct to the best of you knowledge. \n\nThe employer may not even notice that you did not fill that question out.  If they do notice it would allow you the opportunity to explain it in an interview instead of never getting that far.

If you are not a police officer, someone must sign a criminal background check form giving you permission to check their criminal history. It is not public record unless they are a sex offender.

Yes, this will show up on a background check.  Any court activity (positive or negative) recorded could show up on a background check.  You can use several online tools to do a background check on yourself or a private security firm.  Depending on the job you are interviewing for it could affect it.  Security type jobs frequently will deny hiring people with pending arrest warrants.  Also, for higher paying jobs, showing that you have a judgement for back support and an arrest warrant shows a lack of responsibility on your part (not passing judgement here).  I am just giving an HR perspective to the information you have provided.\n\nGet the situation cleared up and record cleared.  If not, you might mention the situation in the interviewing process.  If not, it might seem you are trying to hide something.\n\nGood luck.

An expunged felony will not be on the public record that any employer can see if doing a work related background check.\n\nIt will remain in the national data base and can be viewed by police officers and anyone doing a national security clearnace on you.\n\nThe report that they can see will even show every arrest even if not indicted or convicted.

I used to work closely with background check agencies.  if it's for basic employment, they look into your education, previous employers, dmv, convictions.  as for emoployers they can only find what you list, if you choose to omit a employer they can't find it.  the only things you can't omit is felonies and misdemeeners and dmv.  they can also see all previous addresses you've lived in.  credit check is rarelly done, but if the employer is interested in that, then they can do that too.  in certain states, by law, you are to receive a copy of your background check after it's been completed by the agency who ran it, for free.  I know california is one of those states.\n\ngood luck :)

It depends on how you filed, efiled or paper trail you can goto the following site and locate your status and when mailed. FYI i have noticed that when you have it direct deposit it comes a few days before their date mailed.\nhttps://sa.www4.irs.gov/irfof/lang/en/irfofgetstatus.jsp

It asks you if you have been convicted of a felony. If your honest answer is NO, then leave it right there. Thats what they wanted to know, not your life history. They cannot fire you later down the line for a misdemeanor, unless they ask you, have you ever been convicted of a misdemenaor. Then ...is when you answer that question. I only answer what is asked of me. If they bring it up later, hey, all you have to say is, that was not the question asked of me. I answered all the others honestly. It's the truth, and they cant use it against you. IF they do a background check, they will question anything they want to know. It is then you be honest...but unless asked, I would not tell anything extra.

Some employers will do a credit check as part of a background search for a job applicant. Bad credit or a bankruptcy may disqualify you as a possible candidate.

Go to your local police department and explain the situation to them. If there is a police report on file regarding the Identity Theft, then they will be able to proceed with the background check without incident. If there is no report on file, they may scrutinize your reason for this request a bit more. \n\nGood luck and no worries. This type of thing happends all the time = these days!

u have to pay to get that information but employers get it through a nationwide search. some just go by what u tell them. employers pay a fee when they do criminal record checks worldwide. but if u want to pay for that info. all u have to do is go to website that tell u about a background check. when i did it i had to pay 49.00 dollars and that was one thing that came up employment background
