It is normal to feel nervous about background check results, especially if the check may reveal unfavorable information.<\/p>\n
But stressing out during the interview process isn\u2019t helpful either\u2026so there are three things that anyone can do immediately to ease their minds and ensure that the background check process goes smoothly.<\/strong><\/p>\n Because failing a background check shouldn\u2019t disqualify anyone from getting the employment they deserve, it\u2019s important to take action before <\/em>receiving the results of a background search.<\/p>\n Employers conduct background checks for a number of reasons, and they look for specific disqualifying offenses. When feeling nervous about background check, first, understand what shows up on a background check, and then review and avoid the things that can disqualify a potential applicant, such as:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The resume carries many types of details about an applicant, including schools attended, companies worked for, skill set, and references. During a background check, employers contact institutions and former employers to ascertain that the information listed is correct. Any instances of dishonesty and inconsistencies discovered may cause the employer to feel negative about the candidate. 1<\/sup><\/p>\n Many executive and c-level positions require a credit background check, as well as those that are related to the financial industry. Employers often consider information such as loans paid on time, defaulted loans, tax liens and credit score.<\/p>\n Individuals interested in checking the status of their credit records can obtain a free report once a year from the US government.<\/p>\n In the spirit of maintaining a safe workplace, employers may choose to disregard an applicant if the applicant has recorded criminal activities related to the job. Under the law, employers can only fail a candidate in this manner if the crime is relevant to the job description. For instance, only candidates without a sexual offenders record can take up jobs that involve working with vulnerable populations, such as seniors.<\/p>\n Various rules govern what an employer can do with the records they obtain, and what amounts into a disqualifying crime record. Sometimes a candidate may fall out of favor if they lied about existing records instead of explaining them, even if the records themselves were not disqualifying under the law. However, there are high security clearance jobs that may automatically disqualify a candidate with a criminal record.<\/p>\n Another issue that might cause an applicant to feel nervous about background check is a bad driving record or MVR report, particularly if the potential position involves transport.<\/p>\n Some common red flags include driving under influence of drugs, multiple cases of over-speeding, and convictions resulting from reckless driving.<\/p>\n Although the culture has shifted to a more transient job approach, the number of jobs held is still a consideration for many employers. A candidate who has worked at six different companies over the past year will be at a disadvantage.<\/p>\n One reason for this is that businesses spend a lot of money to hire, train and install a new employee. This cost ratio means that if a potential employee has a track record of leaving the job after a few months, the company may decide to pursue another candidate.<\/p>\nNumber 1.
