Nothing about me on Google search.&lt;br/&gt;I managed to get some Voice over work freelancing.&lt;br/&gt;It's inconsistent but good work.&lt;br/&gt;I watched a guy on YouTube from a similar skillset as myself get paid well from submitting voice overs to some big companies on Twitter and Instagram.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;He submitted all the work from his own home - Record the voice and post online and they did the rest&amp;nbsp;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I like the idea, but should I be concerned/subject to a Background check for this kind of thing? Maybe just do small companies?&lt;br/&gt;Or not worth the risk?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Thanks&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description><pubDate>Sat, 22 May 2021 13:06:38 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>JamesZ</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Online work - Background Check?</title><link>https://forum.unlock.org.uk/FindPost31438.aspx</link><description>Hey James,&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I can't see it being a major issue, to be honest. I'd be surprised if someone hired you to do a bit of freelance work and ran a background check on you.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;For what it's worth, I've done a small bit of music-based freelance work via Fiverr, I'm also convicted of an images offence and my name &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;is&lt;/span&gt; in Google results for my offence. You could also look at PeoplePerHour although I've never used them personally so your mileage may vary.&lt;br/&gt;</description><pubDate>Sat, 22 May 2021 03:19:12 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>khafka</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
