employment and background checks
Read what is below, choose a topic, write about it in no more than 500 words, one-page, single space please. I will give you two responses of classmates to give me no more than 2000 words in each response. It is just a discussion, but I need the best with the citations if you pick anything from anywhere and that will give the discussion more power to be great! Give me the work first to give you the two responses of the classmates please.
