How do I know what information will come up on a prior employment background check?

confusedgrlnnj asked:


I’m interested in a job that says they do a prior employment background check. I need to know what info will come up for me. I have had quite a few jobs and don’t remember the exact start/end dates for all of them. I don’t want to put incorrect info on the job application and then have them disqualify me for the position because of incorrect dates. What can I do to get this info?

What does a background check for potential employment include?

circa 1980 asked:


Is it just criminal? Or does it check on previous jobs as well?
The reason I’m asking is because I’m filling out applications, and I do not remember the exact dates of employment from previous jobs, so I’m going to have to give a guesstimate.
Thanks all. I have no criminal record, so that’s not a concern….neither is drug testing. I just didn’t want it to seem like false information on applications if I couldn’t remember the exact dates.

Can I terminate my employment contract early?

Rob asked:


I will be accepting a contract position for approximately 8-9 months which I really have no choice but to take as my employment options are limited where I live. I am also planning to apply to the local police force which will be hiring end of august and beginning of september which will overlap with this contract position. I want to know if I risk any legal action if I terminate my contract position because I get accepted by the police force? Are employment contracts fairly boiler plate? As the employee do I tend to have more rights than the employer in this matter?

I need career advice, thinking about a career in the FBI as a criminal profiler?

lionheart asked:


I’m still not sure yet but i think I want to become a supervisory special agent with the NCAVC or a criminal profiler as its more commonly known. Of course I realize that I will spend many years as an FBI special agent first and even then getting into the NCAVC and even then its not guaranteed. I’m only a freshman in high-school but I want to start planning on a career as soon as possible. Right now I’m just looking for any kind of advice such as useful courses to take in college, working conditions of an FBI special agent and/or criminal profiler or alternate careers in the FBI.
I’m generally an intelligent person and I’m good at figuring things out and reasoning- I’m a logical thinker. I just want a career where i can use my skills and also make the world a better place in some way. If you know of any other careers (in or outside criminal justice) that sound like what I’m looking for that would also be a big help.

Thank you for all your help.

What are the general laws regarding employment verification?

I live in Nevada and was wondering if anyone knew the general laws regarding what an employer can and cannot say about you when someone calls to verify employment. I know a reference can say whatever they want but what about a previous employer? Thanks.
