Hi guys. I got a job. The Sterling background check company is conducting a reference checking on me. 10 years background check 😔 between February 2017 to June 2017. I have nothing to provide to cover unemployment gaps. No stamps, no visas, no unemployment benefits and no statements from banks as it has been more than 7 years. My old bank holds info for 7 yrs only! What other alternative documents do you think I could provide?

Just tell them what you were doing and ask what they would expect to see. Might just be a character reference to vouch that you weren't up to no good.

Do you have email correspondence around job applications, interviews, etc?

Yes they might ask for a character reference. I’ll see how it rolls out next week. I have no emails from 2017.

Can’t you say you took a few months off to resolve personal family issues?

It needs evidence like statements. No evidence. I asked the guys who’re doing the checks and I’m still waiting to hear back

Been in a similar situation and ended up using two people in a trusted profession, a teacher and an accountant (do not lugh, they ar considered trustworthy). You also might want to consider contacting you bank directly most bank have historical records greater than that period but do not necessarily keep staatemtns for them. Consider people you know that can vouch for your periods of unemployment/ Alternatively reach out to the organisation doing the background checking, many are flexible if the client gives a waiver.

Maybe call your former employers to see if they can provide evidence? I’m confused by this!
