XJT Orientation

[Afixedwing]

Ive worked for several companies in the past 10 years that have gone out of business. I have no idea where my w2's are. Am I out of luck?

Write an adendum up stating exactly that and do everything you conn to establish some kind of employment trail with them. Find information about the company such as when they went out of business. Check the local Records office at the commerce department for the city they were based in. Thats public information. That should help. Its all for your background check that they are required to do. Also I have not yet completed my degree and I still had to turn in my transcripts. See you guys out there. Good luck

You can call the IRS to get your w-2 information. They will ask you a bunch of questions and then send it to you. No problem.

You only need W-2's if the company physically doesn't exist anymore. Can't get them right away, don't worry, you have a bit, but your background check can't be finished until you have it all. Take some initiative and call ALL your old employers, even the YMCA, as for someone who can verify employment, get their name and number, and that's all you'll need, oh, and the address also. If you can't GET EVERYTHING by orientation time, you won't be flogged for it.

Why?

Anyone know why they want transcripts if a degree is not required for the job? I would think if they don't require a degree then you shouldn't have to furnish transcripts. I might be a bit of a conspiracy theory nut case here. But they could use that against you.

or, it may just be a really simple way of proving what you were doing for 4 years....just a thought.
