In general companies typically run a background check after a former employee has not been employed by them during a period of time, which can vary by company, industry, etc. If it’s been a couple of years since you’ve worked for your former company, they will most likely run a background check to ensure that your background doesn’t have any red flags and are still in compliance with their current policies. At the end of the day, their HR team needs to ensure the company is protected and you are not a liability.

What did you do….

I would think so yes. Even if you hadn’t taken a break, but you just switched organizations you would get a new background check. Is there a reason why you’re worried about a background check being performed? It’s routine I wouldn’t worry about it.

It's just them doing their due diligence.

If your crime is not a crime of violence (assault, battery, domestic), sexual crime (any form of rape, coercion, harassment), or a crime of moral turpitude (theft, fraud), you’ll likely be fine. This means if you got a DUI, public intoxication, disturbance of peace, racing ticket, etc, you’ll likely have no issues with a background check as long as it’s a misdemeanor

As far as I am aware all companies do background check more so now than before. Security has ramped up a lot in the last year and for good reason. So, the companies you have applied for, if you get interviewed, they will more than likely do a background check. Wherever you choose to work- GOOD LUCK. I hope you find what you are looking for or wherever you are wanting to work.

Advise on handling rates negotiations with BIPOC and non-male creators? I always want to accept first bid and get uncomfortable when my bosses push to undercut rates (especially now when money is tight), because there is a whole history of BIPOC and non-male people getting paid less. I’ve tried to push back but struggle to articulate this to them. (For the record, I’m POC female and my bosses are white males, and race/gender convos are already very difficult with them.)

1) there were obvious favorites (coaches are not even hiding that fact);
2) some can’t even play and got on the team,
3) some that can obviously play but did not get on the team;
4) decision were obviously made before the first day was over.
