I had a 25-year career as a programmer. Not once did I ever have a company I worked for verify my academic or employment histories or even contact my references. I could have put down anything I wanted and it wouldn't have made the slightest difference - my continuing employment was based on my ability to actually do shit.

I'm now a school bus driver and they checked out everything. And of course threw in drug testing and a criminal background check for good measure.

The school bus thing makes sense.
