Do you know if your employer checked your college record?

[E equals MC2]

They were very particular about contacting all of my references but I don't think they even bothered to check my school to see if I went there or not.

That's because I technically haven't graduated yet. I still had to finish one more course from getting my diploma.

They didn't say a beep about that situation and gave me a job offer. 8 months later, I was promoted.

...the... hell? This is one of the market leader in telecom too. I finished my degree about a year into my work.

So you lied to your employer about your education?

I know my employer checks to at least see that you do have the degree you have. The guy I replaced was fired for lying about having a college degree.

I had one employer even call my HS to make sure I was being truthful (to which I had to eat crow. )

My fiancee's friend lied to a company interviewing her about finishing school. She had one class left. They had initially offered her a job, found out about the school situation, and yanked the offer.

I had a pretty extensive background check that included criminal, financial, and educational verification.

no, my degree has nothing to do with my field, so i don't see why they would bother

My company let go an employee of 3 years after it was found out he lied about having a University Degree on his Resume.
