In general, the types of jobs / careers that will draw this sort of in-depth background check are...
- anything that requires a Professional License from the state ... nursing, engineering, attorney, CPA etc.
- any job that involves the 'public trust' ... banking, education, health care, higher level gov't worker etc.
Also, for the moment at least, prospective employers in lower skill level / higher 'turnover' fields like retail, food service& hospitality, etc. won't bother with the IRS form 4506 business.
I'll also throw out there that, where fields requiring professional licenses are concerned, getting by the initial background check and receiving your initiall license isn't the end of it. In my own case I had obtained my professional license to practice Respiratory Therapy in two different states right after graduating from college. When I went to renew my licenses after 10 years, one of the two states turned up the fact that I had worked in the adult industry. This resulted in my receiving an official reprimand for 'unprofessional conduct' from the state Professional Licensing Board, a four figure fine being assessed, and a cover letter being put into my professional license file that immediately informs any existing / prospective employer checking the status of my license of my adult industry related 'unprofessional conduct'.
In my own case, it was fortunate that I had been able to bank enough money from dancing over the years that I really will never need to work as a Respiratory Therapist again. And of course the state could not revoke my License altogether since technically speaking I hadn't done anything illegal. However, had I still been dependent on Respiratory Therapy work, it's fairly certain that any upscale medical facility would not hire / would find an excuse to fire me ... leaving me limited opportunities to still find Respiratory Therapy work at state prisons, at inner city clinics etc.
