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 didn't put down that I worked at Subway when I was 15 since I got fired and didn't 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!

No I left it black on the app. And when they brought it up I said I had no other jobs. (Didnt want to put a job I got fired at since I was 15 and didn't care :confused: )

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 :o

Jeff_2491 · Jun 29, 2009, 10:55 PM

:( I hope they can't 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!

Clough · Jun 29, 2009, 11:02 PM

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

Hi, JimGunther!

Can they do a background on him based upon his Social Security number? I don't really know...

Thanks!

So they can't find any records on me if am a Juvenile?

Yeah the drug test should be good I took it today but I was just worried since last week I smelt it cause my friend was doing it. So since I was worried I drunk a lot of water just in case.

JimGunther · Jun 29, 2009, 11:11 PM

Well I know that a SSN can be used by government agencies like Social Services (to see if a welfare recipient has an income) or law enforcement to do criminal background checks, but due to privacy issues private companies do not have access to that stuff. I was a retail security manager in two major corporations and was involved in some hiring and there was way no way we could check on anything using SSN.

It takes a court order to open juvenile criminal records in my state, I understand that's pretty universal.

Clough · Jun 29, 2009, 11:12 PM

I can see where the government can find anything, but I don't know about a store or other place where people who've not yet reached the age of majority might usually seek out a job and be employed.

Thanks!

What do you mean by what I've made bold, please?

Thanks!

Jeff_2491 · Jun 29, 2009, 11:14 PM

I think they can look at my records since I had to sign the paper of my application. But can they find past jobs with just a criminal background check? :confused:

Sorry, Pot I smelt it when my dumb a** friend started to smoke it in the same room as me the room is huge with a huge ceiling and I could smell what they blew out. Just to make sure I drank water more over the week. And I smelt 5-15mins of it

Clough · Jun 29, 2009, 11:20 PM

Do you know someone personally who works for that Best Buy store?

Thanks!

Clough · Jun 29, 2009, 11:22 PM

I've tried the following search, but haven't found exactly what we're looking for here.

What do they check for in the background check of a juvenile - Google Search

Jeff_2491 · Jun 29, 2009, 11:23 PM

Yes this girl I don't talk to often but I recently did.
She doesn't know I worked at subway though
