Prime And Employment History

Just wondering what they do to verify employment history? I am doubtful my current employer would actually return a phone call to them (the same employer that 'kept' my last commision check when they laid me off...I don't know why I thought new management would be any different). I also am not sure on the accuracy of the dates i provided. Looking at my timehop notifications I may be several months off in my timeline with my 2 employers from 2011-2014. I don't mind editing and making sure I have correct info, I should have done that prior. 🙄

Other than employment verification, I am set to go to training May 22. Exciting. So long as I didn't just shoot myself in the foot!

I wouldn't worry if you are a month or two off on a job several years ago. They did call one reference on me (most recent), but they just asked me for some w-2s from my job to verify employment.

For my wife's verification she had to provide a reference for some years she wasn't employeed just so they could verify she didn't work. I thought that was kind of funny.

Yeah, I'm almost exactly a year off. Ugh. I thought one employer was until 2012, but it was 2013. It threw me off a year. I'm just going to call the recruiter tomorrow and cross my fingers.

I know my prior employers wouldn't blink an eye over giving references and employment dates. Just my current one. And the year error would be an understandable issue, should they view it as such. Though it was an honest mistake on my part.

They are only going to really want I think 3-5 yrs . bring copies of your W2 and a few weeks of recent pat stubs.

USPS wouldn't voice verify...they have a paid system and prime didn't bother. I gave them pay stubs, W2, a couple awards I won over the years and my benefits settlement showing I worked there since the 1990s. If you have anything "official" they will take it.

Thank you! I have plenty of pay stubs and W-2's 😂 I'm not going to sweat it then. I'll call him tomorrow and tell him I had an error in dates but I can provide corrected info easily. I'll probably text my two old bosses from 2012-2015 to let him know they will be calling.

I'm excited! I can't wait to leave! I was all set to do this years ago (have wanted to since my 'adopted' grandfather took me on his runs long ago) but when I told my father what I was doing he practically laughed me out of the house. I went on to manage a parts dept at a blue oval dlr Being a parts jockey is not what I want to do the rest of my life though.

They even accepted a screen shot of my direct deposits into my bank account. But keep in mind...I was at the same job for 18 years. Job hopping is frowned upon cause they don't want to invest in training you only to have you leave them.

I think that is their main concern when it comes to work history. Reliability and stability.. I met quite a few people at orientation who literally went from orientation to orientation. One guy said he left one company and had prime get him a bus ticket that day. He was gone by the end of the week.

Right, thats understandable. I do have 3 employers in the last 5 years. We'll see if that's a dealbreaker or not. I've 'followed the money' in regards to my employment. I left one dealer to go to another on the offer of more money. My prior employer apparently missed me so I went back when they, in turn, offered a greater commission package. That may bite me. 😕

Not necessarily. It shows you were deemed eligible for rehire.

You shouldn't have much problem. Just start gathering any pertinent info related to your employment now so you can fax/scan it to your recruiter if needed.

My situation was a little different since I was a self employed contractor for over 20 years, but Prime still called my biggest long-term client to confirm my story. My recruiter asked if I could provide any 1099s from past years. When I told her I had all my 1099s going back to 1995 if she wanted them, she said just the previous 3 years would suffice lol.
