agency bearing on your credit worthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character, general reputation, personal
characteristics, or mode of living which is used or expected to be used or collected in whole or in part for the purpose
of serving as a factor in establishing your eligibility for employment purposes.
An "investigative consumer report" means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on your
character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with
your neighbors, friends, or associates reported on or with others with whom you are acquainted or who may have
knowledge concerning any such items of information.
In the event an investigative consumer report is prepared, you may request additional disclosures regarding the nature and
scope of the investigation requested as well as a written summary of your rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

permissible source and/or an investigative report about you and to consider this information when making decisions
regarding my employment. I understand that I have rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, including the rights
discussed above in order to consider you for employment. If hired, this authorization shall remain on file and shall serve
as an ongoing authorization for us to procure consumer reports at any time during the employment period.
