Message: <blockquote data-quote="whisperingrock" data-source="post: 61255" data-attributes="member: 7657">To add to this, the form gave the option to describe unpaid work as "work experience", "internship" or "volunteering". The screening company only contacted my place of volunteering to my knowledge. I'm still close with people at all my internship and work experience employers and they said they never got anything. The difference may be a matter of how long I was in each role or the fact that I am still volunteering for the organisation. My volunteering was a full year, while my work experiences were about a week or two each. It also might come down to what the firm wants follow up on or what screening company they use. But as Jessica has been saying it REALLY isn't something you need to stress over. It's a box ticking exercise. You will in almost every case be easily able to prove you did something as long as it actually happened. The worst a screening can be is a pain in the ass because you had to list a lot of things or the screening company weren't able to contact somebody. I have an incredibly complicated life and have switched phones and emails several times and the worst that happened was having to have a few back and forths to provide the answers they were looking for (and the whole thing taking twice as long as it needed to). No one, including the screening company and the firm, want you to lose an offer because of some small human mistake or the fact a business went under.</blockquote>

Verification: Our company is called, "The Corporate ___ Academy". What is the missing word here?
