adesojiaderemi: to all my friends out there,
Understand Employment Background Checks(culled froM "A matter of fact"

What Is A Background Check? - An Employment Background Check may be best described as an Application Verification. An employment background check allows an employer to verify information provided by an applicant on a resume or job application. Independent sources such as criminal and civil court records, prior employers, educational institutions, and departments of motor vehicles are researched. The information obtained is then compared to the information provided by the applicant and reviewed for any negative material.

Most Employers Do Background Checks - Most employers do some form of an employment background check. This can be as simple a reference check, or as in-depth as covering everything from criminal record checks to interviewing friends and neighbors.

Why Employers Do Background Checks - Employers conduct background checks to meet regulatory, insurance, and customer requirements; increase applicant and new hire quality; reduce workplace violence; avoid bad publicity; protect against negligent hiring liability; reduce employee dishonesty losses; reduce employee turnover; and hire the right person the first time. An employer has the obligation to provide a safe workplace for employees, customers, and the public. See Why Background Checks?

What Do They Look For In A Background Check? - Employers look for discrepancies between an applicant’s claims and what is reported by schools, prior employers, etc. They also look for negative reports such as a bad Driving Record or a Criminal History that would impact the applicant's job qualifications. See What Do Employers Look For in a Background Check?

What Is In A Background Check For Employment? - Anything from an applicant's history CAN come up. It depends how detailed the background check is, who conducts the background check, how far back they go, who they talk to, what information they check, and what laws apply in the particular situation. If there are any black marks in an applicant's past, it is pretty hard to keep them a secret. See What Shows Up On A Background Check For Employment?

A typical basic background check may include county criminal record checks, a social security number scan, employment history verification, and education verification. Depending on the job, a more complete background check may include common items such as a motor vehicle report, a credit report, license and certification verification, reference checks, a sex offender registry check, or county civil record searches. See Comprehensive Background Check.

Your Rights - The FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act) is the primary federal law regulating employment background checks. Despite its name the FCRA applies to all employment backgrounds checks conducted by a third party whether they include a credit report or not. See A Summary of Your Rights Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

In addition to the FCRA, there are many other Federal, State, and Local laws and regulations that may impact a particular employment background check. See Background Check Laws & Regulations.

adesojiaderemi:

on Job search, writing an American type of resume was one of the challenge I faced as a new immigrant,our cv/resume is quite different from what is obtainable in the state,I will advice new immigrant to locate the nearest Carrier center in their location and register, registration is free and you will also have access to Internet,fax,phone and photocopier,you will also access training on writing a good resume,Computer training and other skills that may enhance your job search.[/

tpia1: all this stuff can be googled though.

if its specific information about living overseas as a nigerian you want, then you should probably speak to people on ground.

tosinjoe: Please can someone enlighten me on the difference in flying Delta air or United and flying Emirates or Qatar air. Thanks

Any advice with respect to job opportunity in Charlotte North Carolina will be most appreciated. Thanks.

adesojiaderemi:

Delta home is Atlanta while Chicago is for United.If you are flying Qatar, that means you will first get to Doha before proceeding to Us; it is cheap but far...likewise Emirate Via Dubai..
