Prime' S Employment Verification/background...being Sent Home

My current student only submitted his passport, therefore he didnt need his social sec. and birth certs.

my last student didnt have a passport but needed his birth cert and his social sec.

so there you have it. the passport makes things easier.

I can drive to whoever it is and tell them to pick up the darn phone.

Drive there now and get a written statement, as suggested. Problem solved.

I can go and look for additional paperwork.

Do it now. Problem solved.

I can have paperwork sent to me and just postpone orientation.

This should have been done already. Do it now. Problem solved.

We're trying to help, and all of us wish you nothing but success. But you have to start by helping yourself. If you're so concerned about verification, get on it! Leave nothing to chance. Yes, it may be a pain. We get that.

Hey, Smart C.

I'm not trying to be an a-hole, but go sign up for the military. They want every address you ever lived, every job you ever held with names, dates and addresses. It took me three years to get my security clearance.

This? This is a cake walk in the park, bud.

Seriously. If this paperwork is stressing you out to the point that *I* want to take a Xanax, well, maybe you should reconsider career choices.

Really, you've had the following: A) trainers B) recruiters C) YOUR recruiter D) random people

ALL tell you to "relax. It's ok". STOP PANICKING!!!

Do you really think that John Q. Nerdypants from 10 years ago 1: is still at that job 2: remembers who you were 3: gives a flying rodent's rear about the stranger on the phone's questions about 5 years ago? 4: is still so against you personally that ten years later he's going to get you?

Hmmmm...

I wish you nothing but the best, brother.

Here are links to the possible combination of ID you need to both prove ID for your non driver ID, DL, CLP , or CDL and prove you are legally eligible to be hired. These documents come in various combinations, therefore different applicants may have or require different documents.

MO state Documents Required

US Govt Requirements of ID

And yes, I was completely honest. No, I have nothing to hide. I provided 3 years of history, everything included. Which again was a pain to get verified. So if for some reason if that were to switch to say 10 or even 5 years work history once I'm there, I'm likely screwed. People in the thread are telling me I need a SS card. My recruiter specifically told me all I needed was my birth certificate. I was an Accounting major, so I'm all about attention to detail..its how I'm wired.

I know I'm new here and all but honestly don't get so stressed out over this. Word of advise if I may, NEVER take just the minimum required documents. If you have a SS card then take it regardless of the what recruiter says. Take a passport, driver's license, 10-year history, references, TWIC card if you have it, everything and anything that will help you. It's always better to be safe than sorry.

You have a lot of people on here who have numerous years of experience as recruiters, drivers, trainers etc... that are telling you what you need and should bring. I really don't understand your issue, truthfully I don't get it.

I wish you the very best and don't stress over it!

Smart C, you are incredibly hung up on this verification thing. Is there anything you don't want them to see? If it's something they asked for, you better tell them. You need to go on the assumption that they will find it.

It's already been perfectly explained to you, yet you're still not getting it.

As long as you told the complete truth on your application you should have nothing to fear now that you've been invited to orientation. 3yr, 10yr, whatever. It doesn't matter, as long as you told the truth on your application.

The verification process, whether perfunctory or in-depth, is simply verifying the answers you gave on the application. If you omitted something from the time period they asked for and they find it, you're done.

If the application asked you for a 3-year history, you better have given a complete history for those 3 years. The same applies if they asked for a 10 year history. They are going to verify that you told the truth. As Jrod mentioned, they may not necessarily care about the specifics, only that you're telling the truth about it. Nobody expects perfection, they expect honesty.

It absolutely has not been perfectly explained. Recruiting had a hard time getting a hold of someone for verification multiple times for orientation. They wanted more info during that simple process .Now I'm being told that an even more in depth verification has to be done when I get there. ** I don't want to be in an impossible situation.** If they need someone else to call for instance...I don't want to have to depend on people to pick up phones. It's different when I'm still here at home. I can drive to whoever it is and tell them to pick up the darn phone. I can go and look for additional paperwork. I can have paperwork sent to me and just postpone orientation.

Then why not show up with ten years verifiable information to be on the safe side? DUH. We’ll be standing by to answer the same questions again.

Because I don't have it. I don't have w2s that old. Some of those business are also out of business. It's not a DUH. You dont know my situation.

It literally took less than a minute to find this:

You dont know my situation.

Because your situation is uniquely different from the countless others before you? C'mon, you gotta try harder than that.

Hey Smart C....... May want to change that initial to an “A”. I’m out.

Yeah..and it took me less than a minute. I already knew the information. It takes too long. Again, you dont know me or my situation.

What? The C is short for something
