<p>What type of stuff can come up in a background check and how do they work?</p>
<p>when we do backgrounds at my workplace, we get social sercurity trace, credit history, dmv, sexual offender, etc.</p>
<p>It all depends on who's doing the background check.</p>
<p>Private employers will usually get things like sweet listed. </p>
<p>Federal employers will dig much deeper.</p>
<p>Background check before you get hired usually checking that you have your degree and where you claim you worked in your application, but I think the degree is the thing they care the most.</p>
<p>I forgot to mention they also check that you have no felony records.</p>
