Guide to background investigation of skilled immigrants in Australia
Investigation is usually the staff of the domestic embassy to call the unit personnel, referees and myself.
The content of the survey is nothing more than the job content (letter of recommendation, resume) and the working environment of the applicant, so the applicant should be clear about the content of the resume and the letter of recommendation.
The referrer should know the contents of the recommendation letter. As long as the applicant's background is true, a simple coordination can be done.
Background checks are generally phone checks (rarely on-site), and when referees are investigated, they are usually company landlines on a letterhead. So the letter of recommendation requires the reference to be left on the landline (sometimes embassies may call the company through 114).
The survey usually calls the mobile phone that the applicant left on the application form.
The survey of referees is the most common, because the reference letter should be written by the referrer, so the referrer should be very clear about the information on the recommendation letter and should have a better understanding of the applicant, so the key is to let the referrer start and stop your work. The job position, the job content, the job salary and so on the situation is clear, at the same time may also ask the reference person and the applicant relation question, for example, when did you know? Did you write the recommendation? Why did you write a recommendation? Is the signature in Chinese or English?
There are also personnel and financial surveys, usually through 114 inquiries or through phone calls on the company's letterhead or on the website, you can know your approximate time in the company, the approximate position, the approximate salary, and you don't need to be particularly specific. It is good to know, therefore, that there is no need for special hypocrisy. To be safe, the applicant should coordinate the front desk, personnel, finance and referrals, and try to let the person who is likely to receive the call know about your general career and working hours, without too much knowledge.
For large companies with complex personnel relationships, there is little chance of investigating personnel or finance, so don't worry about being uncoordinated. There is no standard answer to the background check question, and there is no need to find the best answer, as long as it is reasonable and appropriate, and the important thing is to show that it is true.
Investigation mode
Once the applicant's unit receives a call from the embassy (the embassy may not be able to identify itself), it will call the applicant's leader and the applicant repeatedly over the next day to week.
General sequence: referrer-personnel department-applicant. The interval between each phone is as short as a few seconds and only a few minutes so that no one asked to cooperate with the survey will have the time to exchange information and prepare for the study.
Background check FAQ
The principle of preparation: let the embassy investigate and think that your work experience is true, so use a common heart to prepare background checks, except for referees, other departments should not be especially deliberate. It is obvious that it is not good to be premeditated. For non-referrals, questions are not necessarily 100% accurate, some time can not remember is normal, no big error can be. Make sure you don't say it, but don't talk about it.
Reference: reference answers to some common questions are not standard answers, but only for reference, and are suggested to be determined according to your specific situation.
