Organize Paperwork

I have yet to attend school (June 18th)but I am happy that I chose to apply to a few companies at this stage of the process. Regardless of the perfection of your work history or driving record, obtaining records are not as easy as I was led to believe. I am no longer living in the state I am currently residing in and obtaining a ten year driving record online was not available to me and as I learned it required a nice drive back to my home state. I also learned my current employer uses a third party to verify employment and this particular company does not accept that method so I was off to my local IRS office to obtain old tax records. If you have not been good at record keeping as I was not, this process could potentially take a few weeks if an office is not nearby and an order through snail mail is required. It also takes a while for the company to verify your background and complete your application and place you into an orientation. I am glad this company verifies all paperwork prior to arrival as I would not have been able to obtain all these things once there and I would have been sent home. I just thought this was important to share if any of you are holding off applying for jobs till you are done with school.

 

After this experience I have created a nice folder
