A criminal background is the only thing to be concerned about, unless you have a troubled credit report and you are looking for a finance-oriented job. May not be open or legal, but often the logic is that if you can't manage your own money, you shouldn't be trusted with the company's. Most likely they are just verifying that your resume is not inflated. Good luck.</p>
