Do these driver applications pass the test?: Answers
- No. Drivers who don’t remember the names of former supervisors may be trying to hide a negative reference.
- Yes. Since simple changes such as listing “Bill” instead of “William,” or failing to include a middle initial, can throw a background investigation off track, all names should be listed.
- No. The application must be legible if the information it contains is to be verified.
- No. Perhaps the biggest red flag to look for when reviewing an application is unexplained gaps in employment.
