Pre 'employment' screening............

And f### you too, I'm a mushroom cloud laying motherf####r, motherf####r !!

A lot of places do insist on a full check, but I'm surprised that they're doing it for the kitchens though.

I was waiting for a 'chippy' gag from you. Everyone knows that a proper chippy does not have a seperate kitchen

It's very important to financial institutions that they only take on those with impeccable integrity and who won't be dishonest and damage the brand image of the company.

Sorry Alf, was that meant to be a serious reply or did you miss out the punchline ????

If you don't have the papers up there what do you wrap the chips in?

Old Rangers programmes, they'll never be valuable.

I've got them saved and just attach them each time.

I agree though, it is complete bollocks and I find it very intrusive, far more intrusive than is necessary. However, they are one of the worst for the process tulip and do love a good process.

I've moved around the group quite a bit and have finished at one site and started the next Monday still for them but in a different division. It really pisses me off that I still have to fill in the forms and send off my bank statements for the few weeks I was out back in 2008.

One day I'm going to be getting out of this lark and I will do one final job hunt with the banks until I get a role. Then I shall really enjoy filling in the form; explaining a gap as being in Broadmoor under observation for psychopathic tendencies should be a good one.

So they require bank statements if you have gaps on your CV???

Blimey!

Yep, or the plane tickets and the stamps in your passport if you've been travelling.
I've never seen the point myself, just more HR bollocks.

Norrahe, I've worked for Halifax, then HBOS, and now Lloyds (most recently starting 2010 and ending in 2011) literally a dozen times and have NEVER had to go through this before.

Yesterday, they wanted to verify that my contract history on my CV was accurate and most of the last five years was based at HBOS/Lloyds. When I told them to go there to verify it, they said they couldn't approach my previous end client !!! Despite the fact that it's Lloyds they are doing this bloody verification for. The whole thing is laughable.

I had this. Just point them to your accountant
