Someone's checking up on you!

Rediff - Business Standard:
"What is checked, who checks you out
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Your general education background. Companies call up the university where you studied for your bachelor's or master's degree and check the records.

Your professional degree or certificates. Ditto, but this relates to your MBA degree or any certificates you may have obtained. The first point that's checked is whether your university is a recognised one.

Employment history. Companies call up all the companies you had worked for. Companies don't call the people you have given as references because these may be your friends. Instead, they call the HR department or others.

Criminal check. Companies check with the local police station and so on.

Address. Companies check whether you are staying at the address you mentioned in your application. They talk to your neighbours and so on.
