Background check question

[kNoWlEdGe]

Here is the story... I have a friend who is applying for professional licensure. She has two recent work experiences where she was terminated for no call-no show. She is obligated on her professional licensure application to disclose her full and complete work history. Her question to me was can an employer tell by way of a thorough background check who all your past employers were? For instance, if someone were to omit a previous work experience, how would an employer ever find out whether the person's work history as given was "complete"? Is this information somehow collected, and if so, by what manner? IRS records? Social security admin?

From the research I have done, it seems as if accurate employment history is easily obtained by way of background checks, so that if she "forgets" to include a previous employer, it will inevitably be discovered that she did not fully disclose her previous work history.

Thanks for any help.

Since it is for professional licensure with a government organization, she signed an authorization to complete a thorough background investigation. Basically, if the organization wants to pull her tax records, they have her authorization. They can go anywhere and get anything in order to verify the information she set forth. She is worried that they will ask if she is eligible for rehire, which is okay for a prospective employer to ask a former employer. When there response is no, she is not eligible for rehire, she then has some explaining to do. She just wants to know if there is any way that the organization can find out her true employment history through a thorough background investigation?

It depends. Sometimes your employer can show on a credit report. However, she probably can get away with it.
