Background Check- Quitting Job
Hi everyone,
I know that background check questions have been discussed to death, but please bear with me. I had quit my internship last year due to academic conflicts and left on good terms with the people at the firm (everyone was happy with my work). However, my hiring manager said that he wouldn't be able to provide a reference due to firm policy, but he never clarified if this meant he wouldn't verify my employment. I worked here for most of the semester, so the position was on my resume.
From my understanding, the background check process is outsourced and just consists of verifying employment dates either through calling or looking at tax filings. Since this was an unpaid position, and *hypothetically* if my hiring manager won't vouch for my employment, would it be passable to provide evidence like email strings and the offer letters to confirm my employment term? I always list on applications that I resigned from this position, so no lying going on.
I know there's a lot of what-ifs here, but I'm just curious if anyone has ever experienced/encountered this kind of situation, and how they dealt with it.
Thanks
If they find out and ask you, just explain it to them right? You should be in the clear as long you wrote down the dates you interned on your resume
You'll be fine. Most firms have a policy not to provide professional references, but the HR department should be able to confirm dates of employment, you don't even need to go to your hiring manager. Just make sure you explain to HR that it was an unpaid position, and do have the offer letter and contact info of coworkers ready in case, but you won't need it. Let them know after you get your offer and before the background check starts.
