Hey so I just got a job with Microsoft as a Software Engineer. I’m currently going through the background check and I just wanted to know if me getting fired from an AV technician job in college will cause me to fail my background check?
Background check just verifies employment dates, they don't generally call and ask about your competency or anything like that.
How do they verify dates?
They'll just verify dates
Background checks don't verify employment history with past employers?
College jobs don't really count. Legally they can't say anything negative but the loop hole is subtle hints. Plus background check verifies criminal charges and employment verification. And they don't really take the time to call all past employers.
^this
legally they definitely can say something. Nobody does for liability reasons, but it isn't illegal
How long did this take to complete?
so what happened?
I was fired because I sucked , it was in the middle of my shift too. I was on my last legs but I woke up late because I was volunteering and manager decided that was it
They made me put in all my jobs from the last 7 years too, they even asked if I’d ever been involuntarily terminated
