Background check - Incorrect dates
Hey guys, so I've recently landed a position at a BB, however realised i made a mistake on dates for one of my positions. I have 6 proper internships on my CV (all fine), however at the end of my CV is a casual uni student ambassador position which has incorrect dates. It lists (xxx 2015 - Present) when, (found out today) my employment was terminated as at Jan 2017.
Have a couple of questions on this: - Would this impact my offer? - What is the best course of action to deal with this? - Given I have had heaps of internships and that this position is a casual uni pos, would i even list this on the employment check form?
Bump
How did you just find out recently that you were terminated seven months ago?
Cheers, reply much appreciated.
I didn't realise as they told me I'd be retained (obvs didnt follow through), and its casual opt-in work. Regardless, I probably shouldve put more thought in when updating CV.
Will probably just email now, as I just found out. Would you think thats better than waiting for the background screen to pick it up? Or does it make it seem more serious if i email now?
This is good since it shows error on their end.
If you are going to bring it up, doing so now is the best move since you're just finding out. It shows transparency with the information you just received. If you do send an email, it'll look better than them possibly finding out later, though again this volunteer position sounds so minor it should not impact the offer.
background check anxiety: date mistake on resume (Originally Posted: 04/19/2016)
For one of my experiences I wrote June-August 2015. After getting all of the documents ready for the background check, I realized that the contract actually started on July 2, so I should've said July-August 2015 instead. This really was a honest mistake... What are the potential consequences of this (thinking they might rescind my offer is probably paranoia on my part, but could it come to that?) What should I do?
paranoid. HR call to confirm when you get an offer anyway.
Background Check help - University dates! (Originally Posted: 03/04/2017)
Hi,
Going through a background check currently.
Not sure what dates to put for my University degree - do I put the day I had my last exam, the day I got my results or my graduation date?
Thanks!
It is typically the date you graduated. If asking for a range, state the time your first semester started and your final one concluded.
