Oh my word!
Getting through the background check for my new job is more difficult that the interview! Every background check I’ve had before has been easy, you sign the release form, and that’s it, they do their check, everyone is happy. But not this company! The place I am going to be working (hopefully!?!?) goes through an outside company for their background checks, and I’m getting the feeling this company is a bit on the lazy side. So far I’ve had to scan and send them old w-2s, pay stubs, G.E.D., and also another copy of the signed release (which I already filled out at the time I was told I was hired). Luckily so far I’ve had all the information they needed, just had to dig around for some of it. This is day two of information requests, I’m wondering what they will want next. All I have left is my birth certificate, marriage certificate, and my social security card, hopefully they won’t ask for anything else! I thought about sending them all now, before they ask for anything else, but I’m sure they’d get confused and just ask for it all again:/ Hopefully they will get their shit together soon so we can move this process along, I’ve never experienced a hassle like this before with a simple background check.
