What Would You Do? WWYD?
I recently had a disturbing experience when applying for a job. After three phone screenings and one in-person meeting, I was told that I would be invited back for a second interview.
On my way out, I was handed a release form and told to return it within two days. This form authorized the company to check my credit report, criminal background, and driving record. Although I have nothing to hide, this request seemed inappropriate.
I responded by both phone and e-mail, saying that I would return the forms following a formal offer of employment, contingent upon a satisfactory background check. Within a day, I was informed that my application was no longer active. Can the company do this?
A lot of job applications come with credit checks and background checks. If you work for any branch of the government, even those that have nothing to do with security, they do a background check. Usually the application itself will have the question: “Have you ever been convicted of a felony?” They have the right to ask that question. It is part of the application.
I’m sorry you got turned down, but it probably sounded to them as if you were demanding a job. Unfortunately, they have the right to dump your application at any time, especially if there are others they are considering. Remember, the reason you had gotten an interview in the first place was because you were one of SEVERAL who qualified for the job.
