Background checksQuestion, Background check SS#, degree verification, criminal do they still check past employers. Reason I ask is my month and year of jobs is correct but I may have incorrectly listed the day of hire 14th instead of 16th etc.. Is that a deal breaker and do they even check that?
2 days difference is not a deal breaker in my opinion. As a hiring manager I only checked month and year.
Yes, background checks can verify past employment, but I agree with kaz that a difference of two days would probably be overlooked. I was laid off xyz co. after 2 years and then 9mos. later went back to xyz co. i list on my resume the years 1998 -2002 and dont show the split in years. in those 9 mos i worked for my relative doing construction(odd jobs) before going back. after going back to xyz co i left after 6 mos to get my current job i have had for 5 years. is that ok? i never thought about it until now because i got a job offer and realized i have to complete the application listing prior jobs. | |
