Title. Resume was just unpaid internships and I’d rather list some easier to verify paid employment even tho it wasn’t on my resume. However I’d think if my background check doesn’t include anything in my resume it’d be weird. Not sure if they care or not

?? ur background check is being done on what's listed on ur resume
Right but they’re unpaid not rly verifiable so I’ve heard they don’t rly care as an intern
do you not have a hr/team contact or a contract that you signed? even a phone call for verification purposes should be enough
yes lol, ppl gotta stop putting bogus because there are consequences
If it’s some random local place then no, banks don’t care. If you say you interned at a large name brand, they might check just to call you out on some BS. Banks know most people have little to no real work experience as a first semester sophomore in college. School/Clubs/GPA matter more.
do the resume and check need to match tho? The check is a yr after u get the offer so its natural you’d have other exp by then
To both replies: the bank doesn’t care about your local internship that much. If you say you had some big PE internship freshman year that played a big role in landing the job, then that is something they would verify. Banks are not calling local companies about you. Background checks are for identity verification, school enrollment, and maybe gpa/transcripts.
You need to state it on your background form lol but there are many cases where people are unable to verify certain periods of employment.
Btw unpaid does not make something unverifiable.
