Hi there,

Is there a way to get an MBA-Style verification check right now before I even finish my application, like with Kroll or Re Vera?

I have a very unique background that includes working in finance, then getting ill and having to go on disability, then there was income with disability benefits and while I was on disability I started filmmaking (but not under an incorporated company) etc. So earnings, working dates, etc. are all very messy I could see being very delicate information in my application. I want to make sure I present in my application exactly what my background check would say so that I'm not harassed with any questioning that I may not be able to prove.

Thanks so much for any advice guys

honestly, if you answer the questions with the best intent of getting things correct, you should be fine. Background checks are seeking out those who deliberately misstate information. cheers, alex
