Employment History

Anyone have any recommendation or experience with employment history checks? Looking for a reputable company to go back about 20 years. Funny how things you thought you'd never forget get fuzzy with time!

Social Security Office will print out your entire working history. It ain't free though,

I assume you're referring to your own employment history. I guess I don't know how a third party is going to do a better job than you can do yourself. Start with the information you have and work from there. Did you really throw away all your tax returns/W-2s, paycheck stubs and other records? Then I'd start by trying to recover those records from the IRS and/or Social Security. (If you never filed taxes or paid into SS over the past twenty years, then you're going to have problems more serious that being unable to remember all your former employers.) Once you've figured out the dates of your most significant jobs you'll probably be able to fill in the gaps from memory.

For what it's worth, most employers aren't very willing to share employment history with anyone other than government agencies. Anybody looking to verify your employment history with former employers will be lucky to get acknowledgement you ever worked for them.

I have all my work history on a floppy disc. I worked for the US government for 38 years. I had a two year break when I was drafted into the Army during the Korean War. I was rehired after I was discharged. The government issued a paper when promoted, getting a step increase or cost of living. They also issued a paper on your accrued sick and annual leave. About 10 years ago I had all those papers shredded. The packet was several inches thick. Hal
