Yeah, it's happened to me three times (that I know of). There was nothing in
common between them, except that all of them seemed more intent on
protecting themselves and less intent on getting good work.
OTOH, ALL of the positions I've applied for ran a felony check.

Hey all.
Last Friday, NPR ran a story about how companies run credit checks on
potential employees. I was surprised, I don't think this has happened to
me....has this happened to anyone else? Under what conditions did this
occur? What were the results?
I'm just curious, because that's the sort of fellow I am. :-)
