2020 IB SA Background Check - Advice!!!

I’m going through background checks for a top BB, and looking through my submitted resume I just realized that the dates for my very first unpaid internship are off. I remember that the counselor who helped me format it had the dates wrong and I totally forgot to fix it. Super careless I know but basically my very first unpaid internship (which was after my junior year in high school) is listed on my resume as after my senior year of high school. It is a year off but everything on my resume is perfectly correct and all of my former bosses would vouch for me hard. I would never knowingly put the wrong date on there - do you guys think this is likely to be brought up by HR? My LinkedIn and everything else have the correct date it’s just that resume I submitted to the online portal way back last summer. Any advice is much appreciated.

I have a similar problem to OP. Wondering if you could PM me so I could ask for some advice of what you recommend I do. It was an honest mistake, but it doesn't feel right to me that part of my resume has incorrect dates even though it's a minor mistake, so I feel like I should reach out to HR or someone who interviewed me. Any advice would be much appreciated.

 

I did this as well, interviewer cracked a couple of jokes and that was it. You're fine man
