Goldman Sachs Background Check: asking for 5-yr employment history

Hi guys,

I just got accepted to Goldman Sachs Spring Week for this year. Now they told me they want me to send them my "5 years' employment history". What does that excately mean? Is it only internships (full time) or do I have to list every little thing where I learned money (part time work, small internships). How strong will they check because getting a proov for every little thing would be very very much work. Do they want a contact person or how can they check a internship that was not payed...

Btw: I have not recieved the full documents where I have to fill the information in.

Could anyone with IB experience post whats going to happen? Or do they just check whether I have a criminal past...

Thanks a lot for your help.
