There's a girl I want to see is P411 and is newbie friendly however she asks if we don't have 2 references we can use an employment verification process.

1. Company Name
2. Occupation
3. Company Main # (receptionist)
4. Prof. Profile (Linkdin)  

Here is my problem. She wants a work number, however I don't have a direct LAN line as I travel around for sales. I use my cell phone to make calls. Someone suggested giving the payroll number so they can verify my employment. They will definitely be able to call that number and confirm that I work there however They Will not be able to talk to me directly as that number is based in a different state and I work off of my cellphone...do you think as long as they can confirm there is a record of me at the company they will be satisfied or do they have to be transferred to me directly? I really don't know how the verification process works.  

Thanks.

the main company phone number to remind the client that he/she (can't forget Lopaw and others) has a dr. or dental appointment or sometimes representing a financial institution an verifying employment history for ability to pay on a new loan. They don't necessarily want to speak with you.

When I have to use the employment verification I simply say I am calling from XYZ bank and verifying employment for a financial transaction the client has applied for.

Got it, thanks

she is newbie friendly if she's asking for that information along with your P411 verification. There are real newbie friendly providers on P411 that will see you with no additional information except P411. You may want to consider seeing a couple of real newbie friendly providers first and ask them to be your reference. Assuming you have an account.

What he said. Hook up with a real newbie friendly provider.    

I haven't had to give a work number in a long, long time, but when I did it was always my direct number.  I think they just wanted to hear a real voicemail greeting.  Wanting a main number to talk to someone would actually freak me  out a bit.  

It simply means the lady in question is willing to see clients who don't have Okays or references. Whether or not she asks for additional information or not is irrelevant.
