Will a background check find a job if I don’t disclose it?

Was laid off the beginning of the year and have been job hunting ever since. I just got an offer but the position is credit, so I was wondering if I should take it or not? I’m running out of savings, so I need to take something, but my concern is when companies are hiring again, will it hurt my chances? Question is, if I start working, and recruit for another company, if I never mention the credit position, will a background check discover it?
