Aaron Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Ok, so obviously it is a good sign, but what does it usually mean? I interviewed for a job on the 27th. She said I was one of five applicants, and that she wanted to make her decision by this Friday (5th). I get an email today with a link for a background check, and fill it out. What does this usually mean? Do they usually have lots of people fill out the background check? Just a bit nervous because I really want this job, and wanted to know what the usual process is. I haven't had a "real" job before (server and part time sales) and I am unfamiliar with the process. Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragknee66 Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 most companies PAY for these... so I would say its a good sign yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sol740 Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 I had a background check for my last two positions, seems like a pretty standard hiring procedure for "real" jobs. Its a good sign for you that they are doing one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paktinat Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 is a piss test and background check common these days? I dont think Ive ever done either and I'd consider my job "real" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmrmnhrm Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 is a piss test and background check common these days? I dont think Ive ever done either and I'd consider my job "real" Yep, especially if it is a position which involves: - Financial responsibility (bank tellers, mortgage brokers, corporate accounting) - Heavy machinery (forklifts, trucks) - HazMat/HazOp (anything that can't be cleaned up with a wet rag/mop, or involves potentially dangerous situations, like 655VDC buss bars) - Customer facing (because, well, nobody wants to buy their computer from a doped up kid at BestBuy. Or something) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
