2 years till mine becomes spent ?

[Mame Biram Diouf]

Spent convictions have to be declared if you are applying for a job in finance

Depends who you work for tbh

Was most definately squeaky bum time for me

Didn't declare unspent convictions and one of my convictions spent the same week the DBS check got ran was thanking Jesu the ting took the full 2 weeks for them to process Even had to use my middle name at work as a precautionary measure incase one of my colleagues ever tries to google search me because it would be a WRAP if the lie I'm living ever gets unearthed

Was still shitting myself the first 3 months thinking I was getting fired any time my line manager called me into the office

Also had to give 5 years employment history, credit checks, give 3 years worth of bank statements and proof of address

sh*t was skressful

A mate of mine was interviewing some lad, 5 minutes before he came in, he googled his name. The first hit was a Daily Mail,article about how he worked at HSBC and stole people's deets to set up bullshit benefits accounts. Needless to say he didn't get the job.

/

A lad I know got sacked from UBS for, on his application, he put his resist A Level result down rather than the original one (knowingly) as they're only interested in your initial result and got the job. 2 months in & his MD comes over and tells him to pack his sh*t and leave. It took HR 2 months to run a background check and they still got rid of him

Rah

How did they even find that out?

[Gordon Gekko]

Spoke to his college to follow up on the results that he'd quoted and they didn't match

do NOT mess with FCA companies

 

a beg

[TF S4DK]

I'm in the process of gaining my own full FCA authorisation, it is one long process and headache tbh.

I dread to think how much they look into your shit.

[PascalMoriarty]

Fucking hell that many people on here have spent convictions! 

 

A collective Vip2 CRB check would be a madness it would seem.

When I joined my company, which is a FTSE 100 company, I got an email saying they needed to complete a background check.  I was shitting it because I lied about grades, but once I started completing it I realised they only went five years back so my grades weren't even relevant.  Completely caught me off guard though and made me realise how serious the company was.

[Gordon Gekko]

Yeah, Security Watchdog I believe is the main one a lot of MNEs use and that asks you for a extensive background information but they only actually confirm the last 5 years so if anyone ever has to fill in Security Watchdog stuff then bare it in mind

[Supermalt]

i was allegedly a brilliant student

 

my experience trumps everything now, when you get to that sweet spot>>

 

Edit: Security Watchdog didn't leave me alone, chased at silly times.

I remember sitting in my old work canteen on my lunch with a table of about 12 people. Over half had been inside from armed robbery to drugs to one stabbing. No crb done. Up until that point I thought companies were serious about them, especially one of the biggest names in the UK.

[dub]

depends the sort of position they'd be put in

would probably look bad if they were prejudice without reason

[Niall Ferguson]

Can't believe he even had to ask the question. It's definitely not a "rah" ting, and it's definitely a comment from someone who's never had a proper job i.e. one that leads to a career instead of asbestos poisoning.

Yep was retail

[Mizchif]

I'm a good yout so no convictions, I ain't gotta lie on my CV (anymore)

I highly recommend lying on your CV though. Or not lying but fudging a bit here and there. Actually, don't lie on your CV. Yeah it's stupid

[Nidge Weasle]

my first day at morrisons, there was a sign on the door saying 'anymore drug use will result in the male changing rooms being locked'

 

smh

[Afroman]

I highly doubt it's John Lewis

Why

I have seen some dust in there a couple times. Stratford especially. Heard that store is notorious for theft from staff and all

Well shiiiiiiiiiiit..... if everyone's out there telling cool stories, then i'm going to start adding a few to my CV

Bruv

Everything on my CV is a lie apart from the 3 months I was working my first ever job back in 2012

EVERYTHING

How did you get last the 5 year employment history? Theyd have had to check you bank account as well init?

[SLEAZE BALL]

Couple guys I know that own their own companies forwarded me the emails my employer sent them

I filled out the reference and sent it back to my guys

They then sent that on to my employer from their hr email

I made up the bank statements on photoshop

And for the period I said I was doing my degree I got a ref from a lecturer
