How do you put together your 10 background check

[movingviolation]

Do you guys just take an educated guess at when you worked where, or do you call up your old empyeers and find out exactly your dates. Also when I go back, should I list all the jobs I had durring college and highschool, or just list that I was a 'student'. I worked a lot of jobs before I got into aviation, and I'm not even 100% sure I can remember them all. I know of at least 2 places I worked that are out of business now.

Just curious what exactly they are looking for on the application.

thanks,

I figured it out to the month and year, not the day, that's difficult. I think what they don't want to see is gaps of more than 30 days, of if you do, be able to explain them.

May 2000 to September 2000

Company XXX
Address
Phone#
Position

September 2000 to May 2001

School
Address
Phone of school
Student

etc.

If they asked for the day, like below, and hope that it flies. Even my W2's don't have the exact dates on 'em:

15 May 2000 to 01 September 2000

Company XXX
Address
Phone#
Position

02 September 2000 to 14 May 2001

School
Address
Phone of school
Student

etc.

I have been told several times, by both 135 companies, and security background companies, that when you get to a time period when you were in school, just list the school name, number, and dates attended.
I have a 10 year history Word doc that I keep in My Documents that I just add to everytime I work somewhere else. I also have a 10 year address list as well. The past three years I have been at only a few places, but prior to this there were many. Don't worry about the length, just be sure you keep a good address for the Aviation Companies and a current phone number and contact name of the person you want answering these questions for both Aviation and Non-aviation companies.

I've been doing this for a few years now, and it has saved me more headaches than I can possibly imagine. The document keeps growing as I find/remember more detailed info (i.e. starting and ending salary info for jobs, temporary addresses, college class info from long ago, etc.).

It's been helpful when I periodically come across an employment application that somehow manages to include a personal history question that I never would have thought of in a million years...

That's what I like about flying skydivers for a side job...you have no gaps to explain.
