I have a few questions-
I recently accepted an offer for a 2019 SA position. Does anyone know when the background check process will begin? Will is start right away or will they wait until close to the actual start date (April/March) to start the background check?
Also, I had applied to this company before for a different program back in January, and I attached an out of date resume. When I re-applied for this position, I forgot to double check my resume content. The issue is though, I had a position listed on that old resume for which I had an offer but never ended up doing in the end due to timing conflicts that would happen during the school year. In the actual application where we list previous employment, I obviously don't have that one job experience, and my updated resume that I sent in for later interviews also does not include that one job position. It was an honest to god mistake that I was stupid enough to not double check which resume I had listed. But I'm seriously stressed that this might cost me my offer. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
It will start a 1-3 months before you hit the desk. It varies from bank to bank.
From my experience, background checks are in place to make sure you aren't a criminal or a blatant liar. They're normally lax. My bank asked for my resume once background check time came around and didn't even pull the online app one.
Your case sounds kinda bad. But, I can see it working out for you. If you're really anxious about it, talk to your school's career office. Hopefully they can smooth it over if your school has a relationship with the firm. Unless you listed yourself as working at some big name place, they'll probably be cool about it. If you did, get in contact with HR.
It wasn't a major position. It was a minor tutoring spot with a small, local company near my university. The original resume I had uploaded back in January was horrendous actually, looking back on it. I did not have my current internship and all of my bullet points were so vague.
Also, may I ask what type of bank you're working for? Is it typically known for having strict background checks?
