Hi all, I accepted an SA offer. They want me to disclose all employment history in the last 5 years. I have one quick question.
4 years ago, I interned at a local manufacturing company's factory for 6 weeks. (Totally irrelevant role to finance) The internship was unpaid and unofficial. Plus, it isn't listed on my resume. I don't even have any contacts there.
So my question is: should I list this in the background check form?

If they require you to list all the internships you have done for the past 4 years, I'll just include it. It's a simple, call and confirm.
Unless you stole machine equipment/money from that internship, there is no reason to hide it. You don't want the MS coming to you asking why you did not include a internship you have completed in the past four years, which is going to do nothing but raise suspicion.
I wouldn't include it if I were you. No real benefit to doing so and they may not even remember you if the people you worked with are no longer with the company. If they say something like "who are you talking about? no one by that name worked here" it will look pretty bad
Background Check - Job Not Listed on Resume (Originally Posted: 02/20/2016)
Asking for my brother. He received a FT offer from a BB. He worked online for a tutoring company and he was let go for violating one of their rules - not providing an answer along with the explanation. He did this just for supplemental income and received around 2k. Also he worked at the cafeteria for freshman and sophomore year. He decided to quit since he didn't like it.
I told him to not list them on his employment history, thoughts?
bumping this.
there won't be an issue. background check only checks what you provide.
