One of my friends worked for an HR company and from what he told me checking for more than just that was fairly routine.Quote:

Now you all may "have friends" that work in "hr" who know everything, but trust me I have to review and approve these forms and procedures for every new hire, and i have done it for years.
No you can't.Quote:

Bottom line and last thing I'm going to say about it, unless you're going for a high 5/6 figure job, companies only want to know that you know how to avoid failing a drug test, you worked where you said you worked, you actually got an education, and that you aren't a felon (sorry aren), thats it.
Hell, most fortune 500 companies don't even check education anymore.
So did he.Quote:

Oh noes some places run things slightly different from yours, freak out a little harder why don't you?I know NASA checks driving records and will fire you if you get a DUI even for $10/hour shit jobs.Quote:

p.s. Nice edit on your previous post to make yourself look like more of an asshole.
Okay, if you really think that a 30,000 dollar a year job constitutes them actually running a background check that would run into the 1000's of dollars, be my guest. Drink the Koolaid my man.
OK, Bailey. End of side discussion. Next person to respond gets carded.
So I have no say in the matter - my mother got me a lawyer. I guess he used to be a DUI prosecutor and he knows the judge who will be handling my case. We'll see how this pans out, only thing I can do now.
Thanks yet again for all the great viewpoints you guys have given me.
Good luck man, you blew rather low so you should be getting your work priviledges.Quote:
