SA Background Checks
Hi, does anyone know what the background check process is like for a BB SA role? Most of my work experiences were unpaid, so I was wondering if this is going to be a problem :((

Bump also have an unpaid internship
If you have an unpaid internship on your resume, your offer automatically gets revoked by the background check company. HR can't even help you then
This is big if true
Oh it's very true, fellow coverage group junior.
This is bullshit, don't listen to this guy
To what credibility do you assert this baseless accusation upon?
Had an unpaid internship, they mainly just asked for documentation / proof that I worked there (so got a reference from my manager at the unpaid firm)
