Talk about employment verification!
These days people will try anything to get a job. Many people don’t want to go to school and get a degree to get a job and feel they don’t need to so they don’t get the degree and still put it on their resume. In the old days this was often never checked or verified, just putting it on the application was enough to get you hired. Now days they do employment verification to assure your actually putting the truth on your application. They check everything down to what schools you went to and where you worked before. This has saved companies alot of money.
