A lot of companies run pre employment checks in some way to establish whether or not you are suitable for the position, company and organisation. Let's talk about it. What comes up on background checks? Should you tell a hiring manager or recruiter if you have a criminal record?

In this week’s episode, Sarah and Emma discuss the different kinds of background checks you might encounter, and give you advice on how to approach the conversation if you have something that will show up.

🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Rainer. She says “Hey guys! I've been manifesting being able to send one of these messages to you since I first heard you do a shout out on the poddy and here we are! I'm a beauty therapist of 10 years and just got a job at a bank as a fraud analyst - totally new field for me but I am confident I got the job because I nailed the interview, all thanks to your podcast! I started listening from the moment i got a phone interview and re-listened to a lot of eps again before my online panel interview. I actually had technical difficulties at the start of the interview and have since found out they were impressed with how calm I managed to stay, that that little mistake and how I handled it could have been a big player in me getting the job! Anyway, thankyou so so much for making such a useful podcast while keeping it fun and easy to listen to. I'll recommend this to everyone I know!”

Episodes For Your Situation

President Biden has heralded the recent gun safety bill as the most significant federal attempt to reduce gun violence in 30 years.

But after a gunman opened fire from a rooftop onto a Fourth of July parade in a Chicago suburb, questions abound about what the landmark legislation will — and will not — achieve.

Guest: Sheryl Gay Stolberg, a Washington correspondent covering health policy for The New York Times.

Background reading: 

• Six people were killed and dozens more wounded in the deadly shooting at a parade in Highland Park, Ill., a suburb of Chicago. The police have taken a 22-year-old man into custody.
• Gun violence researchers have waged an often-frustrating battle to translate their findings into public policy.
• Here’s what is in the gun safety law — officially called the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act — and what was left out.

Today we dive into HR8, a gun bill supported by 90% of Americans that will likely never get through the Senate.

The Senate has reached a bipartisan deal that could lead to the most significant federal response to gun violence in decades.

Senator Chris Murphy, Democrat of Connecticut, was deeply involved in the negotiations. Today, he tells us how news of the shooting in Uvalde, Texas, left him with a feeling of desperation — and renewed determination to make progress.

Guest: Senator Chris Murphy, who has spent the decade since the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., trying to enact change on gun safety.

Background reading: 

• The agreement put forward by 10 Republicans and 10 Democrats would provide funding for states to enact “red flag” laws that allow the authorities to temporarily confiscate guns from people deemed to be dangerous.
• Though the deal is less than Democrats wanted, it is still seen as a significant step that could save lives.
• Americans in communities scarred by mass shootings acknowledged the proposal as progress but said it did not go far enough.

In calling for Republicans to pass gun safety measures like expanded background checks, Democrats point to polls that show most Americans support the idea. 

They aren’t wrong about the polling. In fact, some polls show that over 90 percent of Americans support expanded checks. 

Polling, however, does not tell the whole story. 

Guest: Nate Cohn, a domestic correspondent for The Upshot at The New York Times.

Background reading: 

• Broad public support for gun control may not be as broad as polling shows or as Democrats hope.
