Former GW Student Employees

Employment Verifications:

If you or your future employer need proof of your employment. GW uses a service called Work Number to provide this information. The person requesting the verification will need the following information:

  • Your Social Security Number
  • The George Washington University Employer Code: 14290
  • The Work Number access options for verifiers: The Work Number or 1-800-367-5690

Contact HRIS at [email protected] with any questions about employment verifications.

Listing Your Position(s) at GW on a Resume or Application:

Sometimes the start and end dates and job titles that are listed in Banner are different from what you may have on record. To avoid confusion with background checks and employment verifications in the future, please consider:

  • Obtain your employment history from BanWeb (under “Employee Information”) now. Retain a copy of all start and end dates, official position title(s),  hourly rate(s), and the department’s name(s).
  • Provide this official information on your resume and/or application. This is what most background screenings are looking for in a verification. You can also list your “working job title” on your resume. For example, if BanWeb states that you were a “UV Student Assistant II” (your official title), but your department gave you the working title of “Student Communications Assistant.” You can indicate this by using “UV Student Assistant II – Student Communications Assistant.”
  • Off-campus FWS employees, remember that you were officially a GW employee and your off-campus site may be unable to verify your position in an official capacity.
