Background Check... should I be scared?

just signed an offer for sa 2021 and I just realized that the resume I sent in had an incorrect date for one of my previous experiences. The thing is that I had an experience from after my freshman year on there but replaced it with my one from after senior year HS and just forgot to switch the date.... stupid, I know, but is this something I should seriously worry about or something to just clarify with staffer/HR before I start given that my letter says they can contact my previous employers? Want to clarify that it's nothing actually finance related, just a grocery store cashier job. Thanks in advance

I honestly wouldn't worry about it. I thought you meant you had a misdemeanor or something and was worried.

This seems a bit trivial. Definitely update your resume for further submissions, but I don't think they would care that you missed it and it might just cause more drama to bring it up than to let it go.
