Education Verification
I’ve accepted a position and passed all background and reference checks except for the education verification. I have a ridiculous “career diploma” from Everest College 25 years ago. Obviously Everest has closed and I have nothing to support it except copies of my loans being discharged due to closing. This wasn’t listed on my resume but I did complete it on the background check form. It’s not a degree, rather a career training diploma.
The records have been requested from the state but I’ve heard that a lot of times the state doesn’t have them because it isn’t a degree and the controversy surrounding Everest as a whole. I’ve been in constant communication with the recruiter and they amended my offer to be contingent on “education verification must be satisfactorily resolved.”
Obviously this diploma means nothing, it isn’t related to the job and is not a requirement of them job. (All verified by the recruiter) I’m not lying about it, I’m just not sure if it can be verified at this point.
Do I have anything to worry about?
