Oh god oh god. Background checks :(
I've recently been offered a position at an MBB... not in a consulting role but in a support role for another department. I am about to start the background process and wondering what to expect. Do you fill out forms online with previous employer contact details etc or speak to hr? Do they check back more than 5 years for jobs?
On my cv, a job I had finished in April 2012, I put as ended in July 2012 (started the role in Feb 2011.) I took a month off work before starting my next role but thought it looked back.
All credit, criminal, education statements on cv are all clear and true. But now feel stupid for not just putting the right dates on that job! Should I bring it up now or wait until the background check shows it, as they migh not check every job.
When I did my last background check it said dates had to be accurate within 90 days
Thank you. Should I correct it when I fill out the employment check form or tell hr now?
Correct it on the employment check form. My understanding is that most checks are done by third-parties and they just come back with yay/nay on you. So you want to make sure the employment check form is accurate.
