No you do not have to mention the job,however if in the background check they run your social security statement for earnings they will find out that you worked there. They rarely run social security statement checks.

No. But some jobs do a investigation on a person's back ground. At first I was going to ask if you have been in trouble to give you that feeling, but when I went to your profile, I saw your statement that you have never been in trouble, Thats great. Stay that way.

I don't know about the FBI background checks that are offered to the private sector.  The ones done for agents would include juvenile records, sealed or not.  The NJ state police has the ability to turn up juvenile records during their checks too so it must not be that difficult to do.  If it were me, I would disclose the history since it will only do more damage if it's not disclosed and they find out on their own.  If you were just wild, you shouldn't have anything to worry about.  Most people understand that kids make mistakes and you will prove your maturity by being honest.  Good luck.

I would imagine so. Not the hard core stuff, but checking if you're a wanted criminal or something... that I'm pretty sure they do.

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.

No. They say they can but they can't It's a scam.\n\nThe only way you can get a criminal records check is to fill out a form requesting one, have it notorized and send it, with your money, to the State Police.\n\nThere is no other way to do it!

Not sure how you would do this, but could you do a background check on yourself to see if there is anything there incorrectly?  There are tons of cases of credit reports being flawed.  Isn't it possible that a background could have false information in it?\n\nIf they found something, they certainly should have told you.

lady -- if you don't know your own background, how are we going to know it?\nBelow is a link to some agencies that provide background checks.  Some of them may be able to pull your history.

Absolutely NOT unless they have a warrant. I have nothing to hide, but I do NOT need someone else to verify that for me, nor to think they need to do so.

I recently worked for a company that background checks on prospective new employees for our clients.\n\nWe checked social security numbers (to confirm that they belonged to the applicant, and to see the applicant's previous addresses), credit history, driving records, criminal record history (sometimes in every county and state where the applicant had lived) and sex offender databases.\n\nIn addition we contacted high schools and colleges to confirm what type of degree was received, and we verified professional licenses. We also contacted previous employers and personal references to ask about work habits and character.\n\nSome background checks are very in-depth, and some barely scratch the surface. It just depends on how savvy the company is, and how much they are willing to pay.

Yes, you can find out if there is a warrent for you or anybody else. Just be sure to look up county records, city and state records and Federal records. Make sure you know the persons date of birth and full name. \n\nThere are lots of websites that you can check anyones Background on. Good luck

It isn't like they are going to hire you and then do a background check years later.\n\nThe only people who might do that would be if you worked for the government or for government contractor or were in any way a candidate for needing a clearance.\n\nIf none of those, I'd leave it out.\n\nPersonally I think after 10 years of a spotless record  you should be able to clean your record of anything short of murder anyway.

Yes, they absolutely can. They have access to things the general public doesn't. It is usually as easy as getting logs from the phone company that are not available to the general public. Plus, it can be done quickly. Also, in most areas, if you hit *57 or *56  (check in the front of your phone book) after they call, even if it is private or anonymous, it can be traced. The cops usually don't get involved in it unless you notify them. If you hit those numbers more than 3 times and it shows up as the same caller in the phone company logs, the police also get involved. Some cities police departments do it automatically after being notified by the phone company and some cities need you to contact the police yourself even if you hit the trace numbers. I would advise you to call the police and they will tell you what to do. Be aware that the phone company WILL NOT tell you who it is or what number it is coming from. The police must determine this.
