Does Wal-Mart?

Question

do a back ground check before they call you in for a interview? I passed my 1st and 2nd interview and the manager said that someone will call me back Friday if I pass my d/a test. I know I will pass it. But she didn't mention a criminal background check. I was arrested 3 years ago on a felony that was dropped to a misdemeanor and I had to do 6 six probation. I remember signing the consent at the 2nd interview but she said nothing about doing a back ground check. So I was wondering if Wal-Mart conducts the check before they call you in for a interview?

Answer 1

i doubt it.
it's just wal-mart.

Answer 2

Not Wal-Mart they spend about $1600.00 to hire and train a person to work there and they started doing background checks about 2 years ago so yes they do it and it does cost alot of money to hire anyone wanting to work there

Answer 3

I believe they do a background check and I am positive they do a drug test. I just can't remember for sure about the background check.

Answer 4

they do a surface background check. If you are done with probation and stuff then you should have no problem getting the job. Good Luck!

Answer 5

Background checks and drug tests cost money. Most places do that last - on people they want to hire. They are not going to spend the money to do it on everyone who applies. Only on strong candidates they really want.

In every job I have had that did background, credit or drug tests - that was always the last thing done.

Answer 6

Probably not. Consider how easily a well-known reporter got a job undercover as airport security in this revealing story on the stupidity of post 9/11 travel procedures:

Answer 7

Often, they do indeed. It depends on the position for which you applied.
