Has anyone ever had a pre employment background check done through L-3 communications?

Question Details: how long did it take? what type of things did they look for? i don’t have a criminal record or anything, but i don’t have the best credit. I already have an active security clearance though. But it is taking 4 ever. (this position would be for an aircraft mechanic) basicly i am wondering what all they are looking for concidering they don’t have to do the background check for the clearence. and how long it will take. ( bit more info) i have already been offered the job based on clearing the background check, and the results of the drug test which i took the same day i interviewed and passed that. so i am now just waiting on the background check. it has been over 2 weeks now and the start date is comming up soon. i have to relocate for this job. it is only an hour and a half away but, i need time to give a 2 weeks notice at my current job, and a notice to my current landlord. and it is already the first now.

You need to ask your contact at the new job. They will give you at least a ball park time frame. Criminal background checks usually only take 1-3 days. Drug tests take 2-3 days and employment verification checks can take 2-5 days depending when they can get in touch with your former employers to verify your previous jobs. You would have filled out a separate piece of paper that allowed them to check your credit. It would have had you put your Social Security N umber on it and required your signature.
With credit they are looking for fraud, embezzlement, bad debts (in collections etc.) or bankruptcies. most people have blemishes on their credit so don’t worry too much. Criminal checks look for felonies or nasty misdemeanors that would suggest a problem.
Go ask your new employer, they can tell you when you should be ready to go, if you aren’t already. Pack your stuff, if they haven’t called you already telling you you’re out of the job, you are most likely safe.
Good luck!
