Please remember to bring ID's to verify identity and proof of employment

eligibility. Also, if you are interested in direct deposit, bring a

voided check to submit with paperwork.

We require that you bring information for at least two professional

references with you as well. If you can bring email and phone numbers

for them that would be great!!!''

Answer 1

I think what Jeff is asking for is reasonable.

Employment eligibility is a big deal these days because companies don't want any problems with the Immigration and Naturalization Service.  

As far as a voided check goes.  Bring one with you -- but don't give it to the staffing firm unless you are going to be on their payroll.

Finally, do take along the reference information.  You might want to alert your references that they will be receiving a call from the staffing agency.

Hope this helps
