Background Check -- Questions?

A friend of mine applied to work as a teller, not IBD, at a major bank (think Bank of America, Chase, Wells) and went through their formal recruiting/interview process. He made it to the background check stage and was notified via email he failed, and that the bank was moving on in the application process.

His failure apparently was due to him getting some dates mixed up regarding past jobs (nothing serious, working at a juice place, gym, mostly high school jobs).

In high school I worked various jobs, sometimes for a long time and other times for not so long. I've even had periods of working two jobs at once. I have absolutely no idea regarding my start and end dates - and none of these positions are listed on my resume, as I've since had more valuable work experience/internships that I think are more relevant to finance.

Thus, how would you, or how have you gone about a situation similar to this?

Thanks!

 

google "live scan", in california, it will dig through the california department of justice database for your record. It costs like 40 bucks and all you need to do some fingerprinting and provide your ssn.

or you can send in your fingerprints and ssn to the FBI, which will look through its federal criminal records database. But this will take a much much longer time.
