Man I have nothing to add other than I hope you take a look in the mirror and realize that this is blatantly dishonest and you deserve to get caught.
Good luck with your future but my advice would be to refrain from doing this again
But how do the background checks work/how can I get out of this do you know? Can I ask a relative to pretend to be HR and take the call?
Is this satire bc either way it’s dumb as fuck man
No being earnest here unfortunately
Let me know how this goes, interested how this works out for you.
If they say they didn’t see on background check you could say it was unpaid thus not on your taxes…
Overall though this is a bad idea
Yeah you can say it was an unpaid shadowing experience which is why there’s no “record” of it.
Still quite a predicament to be in
This is pathetic dude
Not saying you should lie - but I’ve had unpaid internships before and they don’t / can’t really check it. If the background agency can’t find the company, they don’t press on it like that. Usually you say on the online form if it’s paid/unpaid, and it’s assumed if unpaid, it’s not gonna show up anywhere (ie. W2, etc), so they move on to something thats actually in the system, like chase bank. You should be fine. But don’t lie like this, it will come back eventually someway. Good luck though!
So I can say I was interning at BX unpaid, and they won't check?
Jesus Christ... just tell me you didn't make up a BX internship...
BX literally said they don’t offer unpaid internships on the career page ... man you are either desperate asf or just simply retarded
huh
You'll be fine but delete this before it goes viral
