Title: job Search Requirement: Must have a car Post by: chikky on May 17, 2013, 01:41:21 pm Hello everyone. Coming out of lurkdom to pose a question. I have been looking for a job since the beginning of February. I am seeing more and more the requirement "MUST" have your own car with valid insurance. Whaaat???? Guess you will need it to run the personal errands that is also included in the job description. has anyone else noticed this am I nuts?

You may be right about the errands, though I would be very cautious of doing errands in my personal vehicle. could also be that they want to be sure their employee has reliable transportation.

Where I'm located car is considered standard, our local bus system in not the best. I don't think a car was required for my position but as part of the orientation paperwork I was asked to furnish proof of auto insurance. I wonder if this is another way to background check also?
