As you guys know, about two months ago I was tentatively offered a position as a regulator for online gambling in my state. It was two fold, I had to pass an extensive background check and the position had to be approved by the Governor. Today I got the call, the position was approved and I start on August 12th! $22k pay increase, plus a lot of vacation and sick time. Plus it will be in the security realm covering a lot of different areas!

OptionsMaster Of Puppets Member Posts: 1,210Great news! Congrats!Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for.

Optionsthe_Grinch Member Posts: 4,165 ■■■■■■■■■■Yeah man the background check was a pain and was up there in being intensive. Had to provide the following:
Three years of tax returns
A years worth of credit card statements
All my student loan paperwork
A years worth of statements for every bank account I have
The title to my car
Registration
Insurance
References for each place I worked
Three references
Fingerprints
NCIC/State/County/Town check
And I have to submit a list of my assets every year
But all good now Formally a Network Administrator 1 (the job didn't exist so they grabbed whatever title that fit what they wanted to pay)WIP:

Optionsthe_Grinch Member Posts: 4,165 ■■■■■■■■■■Ah I won't be hands on too much anymore, though I will test slot machines from time to time. But I will be helping to write and enforce technical regulations for online gambling so from a tech policy side I'm still in the game Might change the Masters I pursue though...WIP:

That background check seems mostly financially-related, to make sure you're not a thief or fiscally weak.
Looking at your list made me realize that I don't own a credit card.
Congrats!
