Do you think most companies do educational background checks?

It depends............If you have a degree from a third world country, it's hard to verify.  If your degree is from the US most likely yes.  A lot of third world people lie about degrees (BS, MS, PhD) and US companies don't check.  Just as another person posted. They only worry if you can work overtime, holidays, etc....  Plus they can pay them less.  They do check your background on criminal and credit check.  it's easy to do that.\nStay blessed\n\nTy

It's not called discrimination...because some employers have the right to do "ANY" check they would like to do before they hire you. They can do background, credit, income, employer,,,,etc..

Your question is a little vague and perhaps too broad in scope.\n\nHowever, in a general answer I can say no.  Websites are usually based on a specific company, school, person, organization, etc.  I do not know any site that would cover all schools.  You can do searches on Google to verify this.

It depends on the reputation of the online school. In general, from what I've read, companies do not usually discriminate against online degrees from reputable, accredited programs. Hopefully your husband has some related work experience that proves he has applied his knowledge outside of the virtual classroom.

Lying could get you FIRED and get BAD REFERENCES on your employment history.  not a good idea.  Why don't you find out if anybody has ENTRY LEVEL positions in your field, and apply for an entry level position to work your way up and gain experience.

The school will do a criminal background check on you.  All you have to do is be %100 honest on your application-- I'm pretty sure they will find something if it is there.

any job that pays six figures is going to give a background check and make sure those lies arent lies. they dont pay just anyone for jobs like that, and check thoroughly that you arent just anyone, thats why they pay that much.

They sell you a degree for money, but the degree has no real validity. You might be able to get a job with it, since some employers won't check, but when they find out what kind of degree it is, they won't respect you, and you can forget about any kind of future in that company.\n\nIt's mostly a scam. Think about it - would you hire someone for a job that required college, if you knew they had that kind of degree?

No do not tell them that those are like the parking tickets of crime. Those aren't reported the same way I used to work in the court just leave it out. Plus it can cost up to $200.00 bucks to background check someone not every company is going to want to spend that kind of money for every applicant. Unless its a corporate job. But to the point petty offenses don't show up.

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.

I have had a background check done for a job and also for foster care training.  Each situation was obviously different.  For the foster care training, it was very involved.  For the job, it was just as simple as signing a form.\n\nThe companies that actually DO the background checks can perform as in-depth a check as necessary.  There are different levels.

no, although ethics is taught in every business curriculum, there are people that will still (when the opportunity presents itself) ensure corporate scandals. \n\nI think a better way would be to have an outside company audit companies more frequently.

I've taken one with Texas Instruments. They were trying to find out character details mostly, although there were some intelligence questions. They often ask the same question a number of times, but in different ways/perspectives to see if the answers are consistent. So definitely answer true to your beliefs, because these tests are actually fairly reliable in determining if you will be a good fit for the company (that is if they have well defined and adhered to belief systems). If you don't match their profile, don't be upset, because you probably wouldn't have liked working there.

Companies generally hire outside organizations to do background checks.\nYou can find companies online at:\nhttp://search.yahoo.com/search?fr=slv2-&ei=UTF-8&p=background%20check

I think you are right: It is not smart to test your knowledge in many cases, but not all. Sometimes, it must be in accordance with the job, when there are computer tasks as function to develop. Also, could be a filter: there are many candidates for a job. They need to filter with tests like this. But you can find the most of the agencies only ask you about your level (beginner, expert,...)
