Currently I am waiting for background check which is still pending. I know it is still processing cause they did contact my previous supervisor (which is my 3rd job). And they contacted me to ask for my second job employer contact info. I have gave them as well. Today they contacted me again and ask for my first job HR contact info. I have 4 jobs in 7 years. Last week HR did called me to ask the reason why am I changing job so frequently. After I explained to her the reason, she proceed to discuss salary that she can offer and when can I start. She also told me currently pending background check and HR manager approval.
So I am wondering will my past job affect my employment approval? When they called my first job HR, do you think they can answer their question correctly as it has been 7 years. I am very worry and overthinking as I have high expectation and would really want the job.

QUOTE(fapman @ May 3 2021, 11:08 PM) Which company is this? Seldom see company will do a very thorough background check. Usually they’ll just contact the references that you provide to them in the application form. And even though they contact your first job HR, they’ll only get a very basic information about your employment there. Mostly about the dates of employment, how long you have been there & probably if they’ll hire you back in the future. Unless if you’re lying about your employment duration, probably that could be a problem to you. it is a financial institution. So far all the information given is correct la. Just first time go through such thorough check makes me worry. |

Today i just realized the starting month of my first job is wrong. It should be May but i written as Mar. So i quickly called HR about this and she said I can email the updated resume to her. Hopefully this does not affect anything.

QUOTE(shodan11 @ May 5 2021, 10:16 PM) Haihz.. no reply yet from the HR. I just hope the hiring process will go smoothly. Already went for medical check up 2 weeks ago issued by the company. Got a call from a third party checker to verify/ask about my academic credentials a day after the check up. From my colleague (who rejected same offer/position), the whole process might take like 1 month or so. The hiring manager was also enthusiastic last time. I interviewed on April 8th. That's really long. If after a month still no sound from them, I think you can give them a call. I was interviewed on 16th Apr. I guess I have to wait till after Raya then. |

QUOTE(shodan11 @ May 7 2021, 06:58 PM) Got a call this morning, delay due to need many levels of approval. I guess that's the norm in FI. HR already briefed on the benefits & salary discussion. Will ready a final offer next week/just after Raya holiday. That's great! Congratulations 😊😊 |
