Hi there, I‘ve never posted here, and have used the search function and haven‘t been able to find an answer to my question.
When it comes around to your Background check, are you able to explain why you quit jobs etc?? The only reason I‘m asking this is because... I‘m gay, now I know this should never have any bearing on potential for joining, but I have had several jobs over the last several years, where people weren‘t exactly tolerant to say the least, and instead of making a fuss I‘d just quit. This shouldn‘t have been a problem, but I don‘t think it would be appropriate to tell the recruiting officer this bit of information.
Well I hope I‘d be able to pass my application form easily enough, but I‘ve been considering my background check, and I realize that have had quite a few jobs over the years, and many I have left because I was uncomfortable. Since then though I have grown, I‘m more willing to accept some peoples opinions, and just shake my head when the "jokes" start coming, but I wasn‘t this sure of myself before.
Anyhow my question is, how thorough is the Background check? Are you allowed to explain your reasons to leaving jobs/moving? Or is it just a report card basically?
Now I know a few people will read this and want to flame me, please don‘t, I‘ve heard it all before it‘s quite old. But if anyone could actually give a real response that would be great, if not, hopefully the next person can.
Thanks
