I debated starting a business that would do background checks on people for a singular purpose....so the person being investigated could find out what was being said and what was on record concerning them. It disgusts me that an employer can find out all kinds of dirt on you but they don't have to tell you what they found out. If you ask past employers for what they'd say about you, they are only going to say what's safe.


you can ask. But there is no requirement for them to tell you. My husband had to go through training detailing what he could and could not say according to employee privacy considerations.
