How far back does Bristol Myers Squibb background checks go?

[Kevin Ang]

Can I please get a summation of what the checks are having to do with:

- Certs/Licenses
- How are they verified

- Criminal History
- How far back do the checks go?
- Are different charges put under different levels of scrutiny

- Education
- Is GPA an important number for potential candidates
- If one is pursuing a level of education requested for (let’s say attained BS, is in classes for MBA) detailed in a particular job opening, does that hurt the candidate, per say?
Any useful information is helpful and extremely desired.

with the proliferation of cell phones in our culture, the background checks are not going back to the 2nd grade.

I knew I shouldn't have skipped gym class that one day to smoke that cigarette in the 8th grade.

dam it.
