Background Checks Importance

A background check is a reliable way of verifying claims made by job seekers during the hiring process. It provides a way for employers to ensure that people they hire are in fact eligible to work in the U.S. and that’s why companies as the Island Now specialize in this area to make the process easier. The process allows an employer to verify a job seeker’s eligibility to work in the U.S. without having to conduct an interview.

Background checks can also help prevent identity theft.

For more information on background checks, check out the Department of Labor’s webpage on the topic.

Cavalia Odysseo is Coming to Southern California – Buy your Tickets Now

Have you experienced  a Cirque du Soleil show?  It is an experience like no other. It is a visual feast and provides a multi sensory experience that is one of a kind.  When I read that one of the original creators of Cirque du Soleil had created Cavalia, a show about the relationship between humans and horses, I just knew I had to experience it  for myself.

I’ve watched the show twice on my own and once with the family a few years back. I was so excited to hear that the show is coming back and I can’t wait to take the family again.

Cavalia features many of the same things that I love about Cirque shows.  The live music is mesmerizing. The acrobatics are incredible. The show features dozens of beautiful horses and talented performers. It’s a show that can’t be missed!

Cavalia Odysseo will open on February 3rd, under the White Big Top, at the junction of SR 133 and the 405.  The show will open February 3,  with matinee and evening performances scheduled through February 14.

Tickets start at $29. For additional info head here.
