    Default information on background checks

    I was wondering if anybody had any information regarding background checks. I have a clean history but require a background check for a government job and am anxious about any previous dancing experience haunting me. I've only danced in Honolulu which requires me to receive a 'dancing' card through liquor commission. I believe gogo dancer's receive this same card as well. I try to keep my professional life separate from this. Any information is greatly appreciated

    Using the search function will turn up quite a lot of threads covering background-check questions.

    I looked but several were discussing licensing, I'm unsure if my dancer card is the same thing :/

    Yes it is. Sheriff's card, dancer card, licence, entertainer's permit, all the same.

    It varies too much by the type of background check run by each employer to predict what will show up and how it will affect you. Your dancer card is out there and there's nothing that can be done about it, so all you can do is hold tight and hope that if it does come up, it doesn't matter. Good luck!

    I only danced in one area, my very first area, which required a licence. After that, even tho I have been dancing for yrs, I have stayed in areas that do not require the licence specifically so I can stay a bit more under the radar. If it ever comes up in a vanilla interview (w/ the exception of the military, I did not even try lying to them since the background check is so comprehensive & the recruiter said it's not a problem as long as I do not have any charges associated w/ dancing) I would tell the interviewer that yes, I was in a tight spot, went & got the licence, but chickened out. Or tell them Yeah, I did dance for abt two wks but decided it was not for me, if you think that would go over ok.

    You dancer permit shouldn't show up on any back ground check. Most back ground checks are just to make sure you don't have a criminal past. Additionally states do not share dancer permit information. I wouldn't worry about it.

    I've had several pretty thorough background checks. Never had an issue.

    the major concern at present is clubs issuing IRS 1099 forms reporting your dancing income. That document links the 'business ID' of a strip club with your real name, address and SS#. That document is also available to any entity ( gov't agency, business etc. ) after a 4506 permission form is signed ... something that is increasingly required by 'high profile' employers, state professional licensing agencies, etc.

    If your dancing earnings were in 'cash', and if the club doesn't issue IRS 1099 forms, then the odds are much lower that a 'dancer's license' will turn up in a background check. The odds of that happening are typically related to whether or not the local licensing jurisdiction maintains 'searchable' online records ( versus a file cabinet with 'paper' ), whether the prospective 'sensitive' employer is local or 'distant', whether your own address given to the 'sensitive' employer is in the same jurisdiction where the dancer's license was issued, etc. Or put another way, a dancer who lives in NJ who is applying for a job with a 'sensitive' NY employer faces near zero risk of an Atlanta or Vegas dancer's license turning up in the background check. But the situation could be different for a dancer who lives in Honolulu who is applying for a job with a 'sensitive' Honolulu employer having a Honolulu dancer's license turn up.

    All good info, also keep in mind that most clubs have a different business id than the name they are doing business as (DBA). So if you strip at Cheetahs the back ground check might show you worked at Bobs Steak House.
