pre-employment background check

Ok i just called hr and i asked them if they have recieved my background check and they said they have recieved it, however they need to send me a certified letter in the mail for me to look over and to call them to go over it before i can come in for processing. I asked her if this meant that i wont be hired and she said no it will possibly delay me from starting work (cashier). i have no criminal record, never done drugs, i dont even drink, etc...the only thing that i can possibly think of is by me just getting discharged in a bankruptcy about a month ago, or maybe my past employers wernt as accurate as it really is because i honestly dont remember how long i be emplyed at a job. but do anybody know about this process and what should i expect. im just so afraid that they will take my position from me

You just wait for the letter to arrive. When it does, read it and throw it away and then wait to start work. That is how it works, they are required to send you a letter stating that they used an outside company to run a background check on you. It really isn't a big deal.

I already recieved that letter that tells me that they recieved it, but hr already told me that they are sending a certified letter that i have to sign for and once i recieve that letter to call them and discuss what is in that letter. im sooooo worried now, i really need this job!!!

Well it sounds like they just want to know about something that came up. If they didn't want to hire because of something, they wouldn't be going to the trouble of sending you another letter and asking for you to call them.

that makes a lot of sense...thanks for the positivity, i think i will try and relax until monday or tuesday until i recieve the letter. thanks again

Hi there, no need to worry.Most employer background checks focus on employment history, educational background, credit history and criminal background. Employment and educational background checks verify information that applicants have provided in resumes and on job applications, so it's important to be honest on your resume and when filling out a job application.Find out more at: Payday Loan Cash Advance

How long does the background check take on average?

It took me about 10 days.
