Public Work History Reports?

I understand that work verification in this industry is extremely important to employers and something that applicants need to try and get as accurate as possible. The company I'll be joining wants 10 years worth of work history, as many companies do. I'm only 27 so this is going to encompass several gigs from when I bartended my way through college as well as summer jobs when I was in high school. I mean, the spectrum is going to start when I was 17 years old so use your imagination.

I have this huge fear that I'm going to miss some obscure part time job or get some dates wrong and jeopardize starting my career in this industry which I want very badly.

Where do these companies pull your work history from? And the reason I ask is because I would like to pull my work history report (if one exists) beforehand so I can be sure I report everything correctly.

I went to the DMV and purchased a copy of my driving record so I could be sure I got the date right on one old speeding ticket, so if I could do something similar for my work history I would love to do that.

 

Thanks, that's really a relief to read. I'll stop sweating it so much. Some of the posts on this website can really lead you to being petrified of the pre-employment process.

 

I am looking to give the employer exactly what they need to fulfill their employment verification process. So, is the employer going through social security to pull records something that is probable or likely?

 

Well I do now simply by maintaining a resume, which I think is what most people do. But I had no need for a resume until I was done with school.
