How To Conduct Your Own Free Background Check Part IV
Well well well! Here I am again, late as usual. One good thing though, I am ready to discuss another installment of how to conduct your own free background checks.
In this installment we are going to learn how to verify someones education. It is pretty simple and I am only going to cover the basics, but that should be enough to get you going.
First you are going to need the persons name and the year they graduated. You can sometimes do without the year of graduation but it makes it easier. Second you are going to need to know what school they attended. Once you have those it is just a simple matter of calling the registrars office and confirming this information.
In this example we are going to pretend that our subject attended Ohio State University, the best college in the universe. So first I get the phone number for the registrars office via Yahoo or one of the major search engines. Now if you notice the phone number is at the bottom of the page. You can also request online information. A typical phone call may go something like this.
OSU: Hello, registrars office.
You: Hey how ya doin today?
OSU: Very good, sir and or madam how can I help you.
You: Well, I have a person that applied for a job and they said that they attended and graduated from your fine educational facility there.
OSU: Ok sir what is the name and the year they graduated.
You: His name is Les Horvath and he graduated in 1942.
OSU: Why yes sir. Les graduated in 1942 with a bachelors degree.
You: That’s just peachy! Thanks for the information. Have a great day sir and or madam.
Easy as pie! Just so you know not all educational facilities will allow you to just call up and ask questions about former or current students. You may need a signed release from the individual and they may only confirm or deny information that the subject supplied to you.
This is the 4th in my series. Next time I am going to teach you how to crawl inside someones mind and extract their thoughts directly from their brain. Ha ha just kidding I wanted to see if you were paying attention.
