Is the MMPI apart of the medical clearance, or is it separate?

Part of it

checked with my previous employers today they said they received the background check letter last week this is what it looks like.

Hopefully my asshole ex-boss doesn’t fuck me over lol

do they go with a general consensus or is one bad one enough to disqualify me?

no clue :/ probably general consensus id assume since they go 10 years back

So are we supposed to put a supervisor or a coworker? My supervisors probably don’t remember me from my old jobs as I never worked closely with them

Bruuuh this would blow if a boss doesnt recommend you and thats the reason why you dont move on with the process.

Thats where im sketched out about, most of my supervisors quit or left the jobs i had...

Same here. So would we just have it sent to HR who could confirm employment or send it to someone’s personal address if they don’t work there anymore?

 

[brsana]

it asks on the EQIP if the address youre sending to is the same as where you were employed. I personally sent it to the same addresses but got in touch before hand with the people currently working there and let them know what's up. luckily I've never burned any bridges so it was all good responses from the person currently in charge.

Supervisor first if they remember you, otherwise coworker or the number for HR. if you can't find contact info for any of those, a friend or family member that can corroborate the dates you worked there will work, that's what I had to do for gig jobs I had. But any regular W2 job, definitely try to list either a supervisor, coworker, or HR.

This is gonna be a pain in the ass... I’ve been fired from 2 and left some bc of school ? I’ve had petty bosses too so this will be fun ?

Thanks for the information. Does it matter if we list a personal address for a coworker that doesn’t work there anymore?

What happens if they don’t get anything back from an employer? Some of the places I’ve worked at have closed for good

I just listed their personal phone number and address in that case. They don't have to currently work at whatever company you listed.

It depends on the amount of time you worked there. If its under a month, they might overlook if you have lengthy employment history elsewhere. They don't always expect each form to be returned which is why they ask for references. The investigators ask the same questions on the mailed form if they have to call any references from what I've heard from other people.
The investigators either might look at Social Security Records, or ask you for a supervisor or coworkers phone number that used to work with you at a now closed business. If you can't get any references to vouch for the time you worked there, then you might need to provide a W2 (you can request one from the IRS as they have them on file). As long as you're honest about the company being out of business, they just want to see that you have someone who can corroborate your time at x company.

Do they contact your current employer if you do not want them to? I’m worried my employer would be upset/ caught off guard at receiving some sort of form for another job. I know on previous job applications you can elect them not to contact your current employer.

Even if you say no, you have to sign a release allowing them to contact your employer for the sake for the investigation. Theres no getting around it unfortunately. That's why you can list the HR number or a coworker.

FWIW, my old job had two letters/requests sent in. One to my supervisor and one to HR.

 

[Oh_Horizon]

Good luck to whoever my investigator is. I've had many jobs in the past decade. I could be off the mark but I couldn't imagine them wasting resources trying to verify some info from a job I had in 2010 when literally nobody who I knew there is still there, all the way up to a store manager lol. Seems like it would serve them better just to check references I listed plus the "major" jobs a person spent a lot of time at.

Hey all, anyone who applied to this bid and had their ATSA cancelled due to Covid? I had seen a few responses a couple months back but was wondering if anyone had an update. In late September I received an email saying it would be a couple of months but that we'd be able to retest. Can anybody confirm that?
