The Weekly Wednesday: Overcoming Paperwork Issues

References, Police Clearance, and Employment Gaps

Imagine you have been working abroad for ten years.

And this year, your recruiter says you need 10 years’ worth of references and police clearance checks. But, the standard before was five years. Do you see the problem?

We have reviewed the existence of gaps in employment.

But what about,

• Missing or Unreachable References

• Police Clearance Delays or Inaccessibility

• Inconsistent Policies from Employers or Immigration Offices

• Time Constraints & Bureaucratic Red Tape

I will be reviewing all these issues and potential strategies. Sometimes, you can’t get the necessary paperwork, and you will need a plan beyond complaining :).

And, just so you know, I have used an attorney to walk my documents to offices in Washington DC to get them certified, and sent to my next employer, in four days. I know the paperwork (unfortunately).

So, if you are curious, stuck in the process, and need to know your options, subscribe. Invest in answers.
