A background check is a tool used to view your record, looking out for criminal activity, financial situation and social media interaction.
As some of you know, I am a Girl Scout leader. In order to continue my career as a leader, a background check is done every two years. My first year as a leader, this entire process took three weeks. My two co-leaders got their results back within a couple of days. I guess they were really trying to dig up some dirt on me. I believe part of the problem is my name. Most look at my first name and assume I am male.
This wasn't a one-time glitch. Every background check I sign up for comes back in a month or two. Maybe they see my name and expect to find some wild and crazy history? (I'm thinking I need to get out more so I can live up to their expectations)
Don't get me wrong, I'm really happy that they do these checks for the safety of the girls.
This is my twelfth year as a Girl Scout leader and my final background check. I just submitted the form. Let's see how long this final one takes. Fingers crossed this one comes back quickly.
