Listed informal business I created as work experience. Will I be dinged on background check?
I created a small "business" in college to donate money to kids at my high school.
This was just a small, informal service. There was no actual business name other than a generic service name, and it was more of something I did to raise money for people in need. I did not keep any of the proceeds or formally keep track of anything. It was more of a dumb idea that turned into a good cause.
I made the mistake of listing this as the last line item on my work experience, with the generic name and the dates I actually did this because I didn't have room to put it in another section.
Will I be dinged because they can't verify that?
This is for a BB. I've been out of undergrad for a year now but usually list it because it is a great conversation starter. For my current job, I explained what it was and was fine. I figured other banks would be more strict about this and I would fail because they wouldn't be able to verify that.
