SA Background Check Question

I’m going to be a SA 2025. I did an unpaid internship a while back but all the people who knew me don’t work there anymore. Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe all banks use a pre-employment application where you manually enter in your past employments and then have a third party go verify whatever you put on there. Can I just not put the unpaid internship onto that pre-employment application?

I had a friend who put it on and it was a pain. The company requested the offer letter and was hesitant but it worked.

 

If it’s on your resume I would, just make sure you have your offer letter. If not, I wouldn’t
