IRS, has your whole work history, and you don't have to pay to get it just go in, (not during tax season, you would be there all day, but after tax season you have it feels like the whole tax office is yours. Just look on line to find your local office.

Access to those records is usually not free. At least not in Europe, not sure about the states.  However its really not expensive either, its common practice here for companies to do background checks on new employees and there are lots of web sites that offer these services.

You should be able to contact the Human Resources office of your old employer, assumint they are still in business.  Considering that it was your plan, you are entitled to the information within.

The county courthouse has those records and you can get them there. Also some counties are online and you can order copies of the records. The ones I have found online have all charged a fee of around 10 to 20 dollars but was worth it.

There is no agency or bureau that compiles employment information.  There are companies that can be hired to do employment verification and history checks on employees for a fee.  Laborchex...

I went to my local department of labor and they did it for me for free. They also offered a class on doing your own. I would hope all areas would have similar resources. Good luck. Any problems let e-mail me i'll help you or do it for you. Since you have no work history try to use as much education as you can, and if possible try to squeeze in some volunteer time at a local non-profit agency, that always looks good for you.

No--it doesn't exist. You have to pay a fee if you want to look through Public Records.

Sorry, nothing like that is for free.  Have you thought about going to the station where your record is kept and getting a copy?

Check out any database or google them. Or you can go to www.intellus.com and for a small fee they will give you all kinds of background info.

if it is online..its free. or you can go to the court house itself and look at the file....also free.  if its basic info you need you can call the court clerk and they may be able to help you with some stuff. however, if you need copies of the file because its not local or not online you will have to pay.  you are not paying for the information itself, but rather the photcopies.  just like anywere else...nuthins free.

try using whitepages.com, you can search all accross the u.s. with that website. If they have a land line that isn't non-published, you should be able to find them. Another trick, if you were the one who changed jobs, would be to call your old work place and see if they still work there
