What point in the hiring stage is a background check performed?

You will get a background check when you have the job.  The misdemeanors are a very negative part of your background.  They are usually looking for major convictions.  If you were at a young age the time period may be considered

Yes they do put you on background check based on your name etc ( if it matched some suspect name ) . this can take anywhere between 2 weeks to 6 months . once it goes for background check you can't do anything but wait . \nDo one thing don't buy return ticket and buy it when you get the visa stamped . That way you will reduce the risk of losing the money on air tickets .

Coming from someone who has had to fire employees for not including their entire work history on their application, you must be honest. Usually there will be a note on the actual appication stating the consequences of not listing all employment over the last 10 years, typically they will not hire you or terminate you when they realize you falsified your application.  Most employers who interview applicants realize that things happen on the job and it doesn't neccesarily mean that you are a risky hire.  If the reason you quit doesn't look favorably on you and you are asked about it in an interview, provide a truthful but brief explanation.  The more details you offer does not mean they will be more likely to see you side of the story.  You also do not have to list that former employer as a reference, list employers who will speak well of your strengths.  Bottom line, BE HONEST.

You have to ask questions. It is easy to hire, but it is hard to fire. Firing people also costs a lot of money to the business.\n\nFirst, you need to identify what qualification are you looking for for the position. Technical skill, behavioral skill.\n\nThen construct questions in the way Open, Neutral, and Behaviral.\n- Open question - Expected answer should NOT be "yes" or "no". -- Neutral question - Try not to reveal why you are asking such question. \n- Behavioral questio - how this person acted on certain situation in the past. People will behave as he/she id in the past.\n\ni.e: You mention in the resume that you did ... Can you tell me more on ...? (You are trying to find out if the candidate is in fact did what they claimed to do)\n\nNow, guide the questions to find out, \n\n- situation\n- specific task of the candidate\n- what the candidate\n- what was the result\n\ni.e. While doing that task, you may have a situation ..... What did you do? Hhow it went? (Is your candidate capable of what you would expect him/her to do? Is the behavior favorable? Is the results favorable?... They will behave similar when he/she is hired)\n\nAbove is the general technique to construct you interview questions.\n\nNow, in your specific case, you do need a person who is available for evening. So, you do have to clarify that. "This is the position foor working hours of ... to .... Is that the problem?" You also need to make sure that is the absolute criteria to be employed, otherwise you need to terminate the employment.\n\nYou cannot ask "where are you from", meaning to find out if the candidate be able to be at work. But, this is discrimination. How the candidate will get to work or go home is up to the person. As long as the candidate is clear, that he/she has to be at work at specific hours, that should be sufficient.\n\nCheck on below link for illegal questions:\nhttp://www.usatoday.com/careers/resources/interviewillegal.htm

depending on the job you are applying for, No. Some jobs might run a criminal background check anyway to see. Misdemeanors are minimal when it comes to job placement.

Most companies do not run your credit report in the hiring process.  I would say without even running a credit report most companies through the interview process can determine high quality people.  High quality people just happen to have high quality credit scores.

They do credit checks and as long as nothing major comes up then you will be fine.  I had a judgment on my credit from a long time ago and I still got hired

Most places are concerned with felony charges, or violent misdemeanors. It will show on your record if checked, but may not disqualify you for a job. You do not have to select felony, because you didn't have one, but never misrepresent yourself on an application. Misdemeanors do show on criminal reports. I worked in staffing for 2 years, so trust me - don't lie!  Most places would rather hire you if you are honest than if you try to lie about it. It makes you look unaccountable and irresponsible to lie about it.

most places run the background before the interview. I live in MN, so from what I've gathered, you also have a drug test-not sure if that's for stores as well?  These days you have to chase the job, followup, call the store and ask if they have made any decisions yet on the open positions.  Yes, this kind of makes you sound desperate, but it shows initiative and that you really would like to work there.  Once you do get an interview and you haven't heard-give them a call to see if they have made any decisions, a lot of the time they don't have the time to call everyone. Large companies get so many resumes that you have to make yourself stick out a bit more to be noticed. And I'm not sure about how the stores hire, if everything has to go back to HQ to be approved or not? \n good luck

The mere fact that you got a second interview is a good sign. And, I doubt they'd do a background check if they aren't at least interested in you.

To see if they are still qualified.

Yeah, they'll want to verify your ID and legality prior to hire. Why are you so concerned about it?

the interview process is the reverse of what many think. the interviewer is talking to many people and thus is looking for a reason NOT to hire you.if 10 people have equal qualifications, the person who got the job most likely was lucky enough not to be asked a question they would have answered wrong

I would never hire anyone that I found had lied on their resume, especially in the case of a degree, or prior felonies, or convictions.  So, yes, they should be declined the job opportunity.  Honesty is the best policy.  \n\nIf the individual was well qualified, but say had a felony conviction as a teen, and nothing since, and it has been 10 years, and they disclosed that info, sure - give them the benefit of the doubt.

That would show on a $50 background check.  Some businesses do them, some don't.  If they don't you might get away with it, but it would be out there.  \n\nIf they ever decided they didn't want you, they could back check things and have an immediate reason to fire you with cause.  I have seen that happen twice.

Yes, mention it in your resume if it's part of your work experience.  If they ask about it during your interview, offer the documents that you have or a contact number wherein they can do a background check on you with your previous employer.

Where I live they do just a background check.
