Hey folks. If there is anyone out there (a BI maybe) who can help with this question I'd appreciate it..

Is there a department (Department of Revenue or DETMA (the unemployment folks) ) that you can go to in order to receive a complete, detailed record of your employment history?

Where does a BI go to ensure the completeness of the applicant's 60-page questionnaire for employment history? I've had a number of jobs since 1979 and I cannot remember all of the details. One place was a hardware store that went out of business. I remember where it was, but can't remember the name. It was a P/T gig for a few months in 1985.

I have to believe there is a record on each of us in some gov't agency that contains this information and I'd like to use it when completing the application. I ask here since I prefer not to be on hold for 90 minutes waiting for the "next available service representative".
Thanks a lot for any help.

You can get that info through social security. I think you can pay a fee (probably under 35-) and you can get a complete history of your employment. a BI will probably go to where your official personnel folder or records are to get the particulars and dates of same. I'll try to get you the SS info, (name or e-mail)

Beowolf - you're OK pal, thanks!

Dickhead over here never even contemplated the SSA. I was fixated on "state agency" for some reason. I mean who better than the SSA to track your employment history right...
Jake - thanks for the assist brah...

The fee for me is $61.50! More than I'll ever see in benefits I imagine...

Kozmo I had the same problem and I got my history from the SSA using that form. Only problem was that the informaton is not easy to read, they only give you the years you worked at a particular job. I was able to use it to rebuild my employment history, It definatley helped. Just know that it won't be as detailed as you would like it to be.

i have my SF86 from my TS Clearance so i just use that. but god it was a pain in the ass it took me 3 straight days to do the employment background & lots of phone calls. I still don't know if its 100% but the feds crawled up my ass for my clearance so I guess there is no major gliches.
