How do you list employers on job applications who use www.theworknumber.com or out of state verification?

Question

I was previously employed by two local companies, and informed by managers of both, that they are not allowed to verify dates of employment by phone, fax, or mail at the local address where I worked. Supposedly, only their human resource office in another state can do that.

If you have been told this, how do you fill out the job application? Do you put down the address and phone number of the out of state office, or do you put down the local address where you worked, but only the phone number of the out of state office?

Also, if a company tells you they only verify employment using www.theworknumber.com, how do you list that on the application? Do you leave the address and phone number blank on the application, and just provide the website address with the work number? Those applications only give you a few skinny lines, so I don't have room to explain all of this. It's aggravating.

I know how to use the worknumber, I'm just wondering how to fill out the application.

Answer 1

For the worknumber, you need to go online and create a verification key. You will need to know your employer number or look it up. You provide the prospective employer with the phone number of theworknumber.com and the verification key. It is only good for a month.

If I can be of further assistance, let me know.
