You can call the companies for which you worked and verify the dates with them.  Try the H.R. offices, they get those requests all the time.

Absolutely it can.  Many places now ask on applications whether or not you've been convicted of a felony.  There are laws against discrimination, but companies can find lots of excuses of why they didn't hire you.\n\nThat said, not all companies discrimate and you can still find a fabulous job.  I would be open and upfront about my past if the company asked about it on the application because if they hire you and find out later that you lied on the application, it could cost you your job.

There really isn't any "getting around this."\n\nYou are obligated to tell the truth on job applications.  You'd definitely be in worse shape if you got caught lying about it.\n\nYour best bet is to collect some fresh, respectable references who will speak to potential employers about you, or who will write a letter in support of your job applications.\n\nGood luck.

Theoretically, yes.  The previous employer can say whatever they want when someone calls for a reference as long as it is true.  However, they open themselves up to lawsuits if they do even if it is true and verifiable.  The fired employee can claim defamation of character and the old employer will be forced to go to court to support the claims it made.  Even if they can prove the claims, it is still up to the jury to decide guilty or not guilty.  Sometimes, juries do not listen to facts.  In any event, the prior employer will lose money to defend itself.\n\nIt is usually safer for old employers to not disclose exactly what happened directly but use a little subterfuge.  Such as when the prospective employer calls about a reference say "I am going to have to refer you to our legal department regarding this previous employee."  That says there is something very bad here, but not exactly what.  It lets the prospective employer know that the prior employment had problems.  Sometimes just saying flat out "I not give a reference for this employee." will get the message across.

It's against the law for them to give any type of reference on your actual work habits.  The only thing they can verify is your Start / End dates with the company and your starting / ending salary information.\n\nTry having a friend calling to ask for a reference on you.  Tape the call from another line and contact a lawyer if they give your friend anything other that what is allowed.

It is legal, though not always advisable, to include negative details of a former employee's work history in the course of a reference check. Most large employers have a strict policy of releasing only the employment dates and rehire status. This policy is to protect the employer from legal action by the former employee. Of course, if the negative work history is substantiated in documentation such as merit reviews, the former employers bears little risk in the event of adverse legal action. Most employers would rather avoid legal action even when they stand to win, so they act conservatively in limiting what information is shared with outside information-seekers.

try coming out of prison from robbing 11 banks and getting a job. You have it made compared to me...\nIn the application where it asks if you ever had any criminal convictions------leave it blank. and wait to answer that question during the interview. You're not lying....you're simply choosing not to share that kind of info for others to see.

I know being in michigan that an employer can tell other places of business that yes, you did work at that company and the dates worked there.  They CANNOT state whether you have been fired or quit.  They CANNOT state how you worked at that place of business or they CANNOT say what type of person you are or if you have any jail time.  Seek legal cousel if you think you had an unjustice.  They may be able to steer you in the right direction.

You might be ok. Some employment background checks only go back ten years

I work in HR, and trust me, if you lie on your resume, someone is likely to figure it out.  It's even more embarrassing if they hire you and then find out.

I'm not sure what you're asking. Are you trying to get YOUR work history off the Internet? That kind of info won't generally be available through a typical Google search. For fun, you can try searching for your complete name in quotes...\n\n"Firstname Lastname" \n\n... to see if any derogatory items show up.\n\nYou can pay a company to do a background check on you that will show work history as well as credit history. \n\nYou could also talk to the IRS and get prior tax records, but that sounds like a nightmare to me!

Most of us live with the idea that the past repeats itself.  \n\nThey are checking:\n\n1)  Did you lie on your application about your past salary?\n2)  Have you been in the same line of work for the last two years?\n3)  Does it show your salary has been going up?\n4)  Have you filed taxes for the last two years (otherwise the IRS could put a lien against your house once you have one)\n\nIt goes on and on, but the rest are just variations of the four above.\n\nContrary to the guy above me, it is almost ALWAYS REQUIRED UNLESS you are going with a stated income loan.

Yes you can and if you failed to tell your employer then that is considered lying on your application.

It's your age.  I had the same experience when I was your age.  Of course you already know it is unlawful for employers to inquire your age, but there are other ways they can figure this out.  Your resume is the main source.  What I learned was to take all dates out of my education.  Simply stating the institutions is enough.  Second, take out all job history that doesn't pertain to the occupation you are applying for.  Thirdly, take out employment dates.  Simply list duration of time worked at each job.  Input a sentence before work history that explains the list is from most recent back.  Good Luck.

That's illegal. A former employer should only confirm that you worked there and your title and the time period that you were employed in that position. That's about it.\n\nI'd get a lawyer.

Well if you request a copy of the record from the company that did the background report,you will find that it contains the F.B.I header in it somewhere.You will also find at the top of the page "It is illegal for a company to deny you employment because of any information contained in this report"(However it doesn't apply to certain Government jobs)So ,therefore the report which is comes from a"government" agengy but,is collected by an independant firm says that if you are denied employment you can sue.
