[QUOTE="movingkieran, post: 122694, member: 25585"] Hi! Been scrolling the forums a little bit and thought it'll be great to register and ask. [B][U]In pre-employment background checks (for VS/TC), does the background check company go to the law firms with which I did vacation schemes before and confirm my TC offer status?[/U][/B] In my circumstances, I signed a training contract at an international firm's overseas office (in Hong Kong), but now I prefer to come back and work in the UK. I appreciate reneging my Hong Kong offer is not ideal but there are personal family reasons for my move. Obviously, I will not want to alert the firm's Hong Kong office if the background check company goes to them and asks if I interned there and/or signed a training contract with them. In the worst case that I do not get a UK TC offer, I will still not want to lose the Hong Kong offer. Should I just not disclose my vacation scheme and/or training contract overseas early on in the application stage? [/QUOTE]
