I got the job at Best buy they just have to do a criminal background check and drug test. I'm 17 getting this job but I didnt put down that I worked at Subway when I was 15 since I got fired and didnt care at the time (I was dumb) on the paper work he gave me it said criminal background check and drug test so is that all there doing?

Thanks

Hi, Jeff_2491!

Did you tell them about the position at Subway and/or filled out on the job application that you had worked at Subway?

Thanks!

You said you got the job so I don't see a problem. They say that the next step is to do a criminal records check and a drug test. You can't do a criminal records check on a juvenile, those records are sealed, but you sound like you don't have a record anyway. So all you should have to worry about is a drug test and this won't be a problem either, Right???

Hi again, Jeff_2491!

Did you make enough at Subway that you paid taxes on your income?

Thanks!

Jeff_2491 · Jun 29, 2009, 10:51 PM

I have no criminal background

Yeah I did pay taxes

I hope they cant find that I worked at subway. I worked there from April to Aug's a few years back

Since it's a job at Best Buy, there might be the possibility that they would do some sort of credit check. It would be logical at Best Buy for them to do that because they sell really expensive things.

Now, concerning whether they will do a credit check or not, I don't know. Of course you gave them your social security number. Correct? You would have to have that in order to be able to work.

Thanks!

Well, I won't condone omitting or lying on an application. I've lost more than a few jobs for various reasons but have always been able to find other employment.

I'm also not trying to scare you here.

Thanks!

Yes It is on the application so they have my SS.

On the papers they gave me it says what there going to do and only says Drug test and Criminal background check
