What Will a Professional Background Check Tell an Employer About You? Part 2

In my last post I discussed that a potential employer may do a background check on you. What “must know” information do you need to ensure your background check is an employment tool and not a hindrance?

First, you should be aware that a prospective employer must gain your written permission in order to conduct a background check associated with your employment application. And if they wish to communicate with your associates, neighbors or friends, they will need you to sign off on what is known as an investigative consumer report.

Next time I will discuss in more detail what is included in an employee background check.
