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!
I want to know that too
if you want to put jobs that you don't remember on your resume, do two things 1) contact your employer and try to find out from their records 2) do a background check yourself to get the information 3) generalize (usually only for internships)- e.g. "Summer 2009" or "Spring 2011"
How can I do a background check on myself?
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.
But I am from India, who will be making a career in London. So how would I do that, I do not have no SSN yet.
I maybe should re-state my question:
I've had jobs that ARE NOT listed on my resume. I've also held jobs not listed on my resume while working another job that IS on my resume. Will this be an issue?
