Hey yall I just passed my first test and have to fill out my PHS. I am wondering is there anywhere I can get a print out of my last 10 years of work with start/hire dates and addresses? I went to the social security department and they gave me a print out of the corporate locations and the amt of money I made. Any help is appreciated

I signed up for it a while ago. I took the test on the 25th. The test is so easy its not funny. If you can read and comprehend basic english you will pass.

Thats what my wife said. They tell you to plan on being there all day for the test and she was out in 3 hours. I'm not worried though, I usually do really well on tests like that. I just hate loosing points overall because I'm not handicapped, not a female and I'm white.

get ready for the wait guys.. i did that 1 year ago and just know took my physical and resparator test... super slow process

Yeah, I hear if you opt for a job in one of a few certain prisons that you'll get in quicker. I'm only interested in going one place so I'll just wait. I hope it helps with the fact that I know a few CO's at Folsom and my wife currently works there herself.

Thats weird. I just took the test the 25 of october. My physical is in december of this year. I dont know why you had to wait 1 year to do the physical!

not sure either took the writtin test and the 900 q test after that.. then came back for my PAT test about 2 weeks later turned in my PHS talked to a back ground investigator, about six months later they called asking for some information... know about 2 weeks ago they overnighted my papers to go to my physical and resparator test.. im going back to QTC "were you take the physical" for another test on wed... let you know what it is...

Anyone know where you can get accurate detailed info of past job hiring/quit dates ?
 
Posted by Chris C. (Member # 1949) on :
 
look up all your old tax filings maybe? I would have no idea where you could find all that info.
 
Posted by gt1990gt (Member # 7211) on :
 
anyone past the step im at? i heard up to a year and a half wait...
 
Posted by wicked02gt (Member # 6652) on :
 
my friend is going through that right now he said the wait is because of the prisons you picked cuz they give you three choices and if those are full then you have to to wait till there is openings then they call you he chose pelican bay thats the place thats needs them right now accroding to what they told hime folsom,vacaville, and san quentin are full thats why people have to wait so long

i picked on the paper willing to relocate anywhere in the state of california,

oh then that took a long time time my friend apllied about 1 month ago and he is already took all his test and is just waitng for his backround to clear and then he is set

Your friend must have said that he would go to one of the other prisons that really need people. If want to get into another prison that doesnt need people as bad then it will take longer.... I'm holding out for Folsom.
 
Posted by wicked02gt (Member # 6652) on :
 
yea i think thats what happened cuz he said that they told hime if would want to go to a prison that he wanted it would take longer cuz most likely it would be full so he said he would go where they need people and then transfer it would be faster that way
 
Posted by gt1990gt (Member # 7211) on :
 
the background is the longest part.. up to a year... ask sgt. maxwell today when he was asking me more questions...

just a question do they check your credit and is that a factor in them hiring you.That's my only concern?

Yes, you have to bring in a credit report when you turn in your PHS.
 
Posted by wicked02gt (Member # 6652) on :
 
yea they ask for a credit report but wether or not it affects your hiring i have no idea i say it shouldnt unless you owe money to the government like taxes,child support,alimony stuff like that but i dont know kinda dumb tho if they deecide not to hire you cuz of credit i think
 
Posted by asskickn88 (Member # 4957) on :
 
I just took my test today and passed no problem. They wanted to know stuff like if I was ever suspended from school and the dates it happened! Like I can remember exact dates from 22 years ago when I was in 6th or 7th grade. Some of it was plain stupid. Yeah, they do ask for a credit report but she said it doesn't make a difference what your credit score is. They also want a copy of your auto insurance.... for what reason, I don't know. All in all gathering all the personal information is going to be the hardest thing about the application, for me anyway.

one of my cousins that got hired said they check your credit to see if you are a responsible person just what i heard
 
Posted by asskickn88 (Member # 4957) on :
 
I personally know a few people that are CO's and dont have good credit. This job will help you to have the money to fix those credit problems though!
 
Posted by wicked02gt (Member # 6652) on :
 
thats true getting that job will help fix all those problems
 
Posted by 302n/a (Member # 1465) on :
 
alrite thanks guys.I been thinking about corrections for the longest time.And i want to get in,i know i can pass everything else, just my credit ain't all that great.

If Dept of Corrections is similar to other agencies, then your credit report and score do matter. If you have defaulted on any of your loans, mortgage, revolving accounts or claimed bankruptcy then it will hurt your chances of getting in. These agencies want people who can manage their money because it shows responsibility and maturity.
