I have started my background investigation as of yesterday. We had to write a 5 page essay. After we did so, we were given a Personal History Statement, and a checklist of things we need to do. On this check list, it listed things like: Getting a copy of your SS card, DL card, diplomas, etc. Most of it is pretty straight forward, but I have a question and concern about TWO of the items on the list:
ONE of the listed items that I'm worried about, is to turn in a "List of neighbors (past and present)." I'm pretty concerned about this, because I've lived in quite a few areas for starters. I know of 2 or 3 neighbors from my childhood in another state (Still have their numbers and addresses. In fact, I'm still in contact with them.) Since moving to Idaho, I can only list my next door neighbors. From living in Weiser, I can only list one neighbor. Anyway...I can only list about 5 neighbors or so. Is this bad? I don't even know what the hell I can do about other neighbors. Is this a big deal? Some apartment complexes my family lived in, we didn't even get a chance to know anyone. However, there was one place in Boise, Idaho where we lived there for 5 years, and I honestly didn't take the time to learn new people, other than who I already knew. Are they just wanting the names of my neighbors, or do they want their addresses and phone numbers? Most of the neighbors I use to know, don't even live there anymore.
SECOND on the listed items that I'm worried about, is "Performance Evaluation from your employers." This may sound stupid, but I'm not exactly sure what they want. (1.) Are they asking me to go find all my old employers and evaluate the job I USE to do? (2.) Or, are they asking me to supply them with performance evaluations from my CURRENT employers? In which case, that'll be difficult. I just started a new job, and my second job at Meals on Wheels, wouldn't know what to say I'd imagine. (3.) Or, are they asking me to supply them with ANY evaluation I've had in the past? If that's the case, I only have one of my evaluations from a past job, and it was done 1998.
Thanks so much for any help. They were so vague about this list of items, and there's no description next to them, which is frustrating since I'm trying to do everything as perfect as I can.
