P and P...I guess the medical leaves are the specific issues I'm worried about since the dates I gave that I worked there, included that time right before I left the last 2 jobs.
I consider my self a good employee, but I don't kiss *ss which doesn't help with personal refs and I don't play games like so many who thrive in jobs. I'm almost invisible because I avoid the politicalness and just focus on doing a good job, which seems less important in my last 3 jobs. The job responsibilities take up all my working hours and I find so many others skimp on the work and focus on the gossip and politicalness more than the actual work and I always feel different that I am slighted or feel insignificant for doing this.
I have heard you can get a copy of your former work records to read what has been said about you, is this true and do they send everything or just the items that they are comfortable with you reading? Such game playing in jobs.
Waiting now to hear if there is anything negative in my reocrds, I have no way of knowing. I don't think I have ever had a background check done before. An agency in California does the check, its really big business from their website. They can find out alot about you.
I won't be able to relax until it comes back clean...please let it be and make my fears go away. If it doesn't I may not try for another job again, i have had such up and downs...if I get this job I will have to keep it since the process makes you never want to look again, I don't ever remember a job search being this involved...the intrnet has complicated it alot in terms of information collected about you.
