Search Results: employment background check

Hi all,

Last week I got a verbal offer of employment. The company did come through in regards to background checks and referral checks as promised within the promised time frame.

Is it normal for a written offer to come through one week after the verbal offer?

I feel like they're stringing me along and I am really nervous.

A few weeks ago, while job searching I was invited to interview with a daycare. The first interview went well, they told me about their training process and their philosophy and I ended the meeting thinking highly of them.

A few days later they emailed me asking for a second interview where they wanted to me to spend at least 2 hours at their facility and I would not actually be interviewed by anyone. They said that this interview was to see how comfortable I was in the facility.

This daycare center had not run any background check on me and despite them having a training policy, I was not trained. In MN it is illegal to require work for employment and not pay, even with working interviews. When I arrived I was instructed several times to fulfill tasks of the staff, even though this was an unpaid "interview". I feel there are two very big problems with this daycare. Firstly they are not following labor laws in regards to payment, interviews, or training. Secondly, this sort of "interviewing" process leaves the children in risk of danger. Putting random people in unpaid positions for hours at a time, who they have not ran any background check on around children and even going as far as to instruct them to go places alone with them.
