Might Want To Run A Check On Yourself, Just To See What Comes Up

Background Checks In The News: Says here that employers are using social media for background checks, because it's so easy to check a Facebook page and get a sense of what kind of person you're dealing with. And, whether by social media or traditional means, more potential employers and landlords are conducting background checks, but what happens if the check is mistaken, or has an arrest on there which was supposed to be expunged because you were totally innocent? The problem with the latter is that the government's not responsible if they make an error, and the private background investigators aren't liable if they don't correct their own records, so you're screwed.
