Should I put all past employers while conducting a background check?
I just got a job with the county and they are going to conduct a background check on my past employers. I just took another job 2 weeks ago and i do not know whether I should tell them about this employment. Should I also tell them about other jobs where I only lasted 1 week- 1 month? If i do not tell them, can they still find out and will it affect me?
As an owner of 2 small businesses I can tell you this:
If one of my new hires had taken another job shortly before taking a job with my company, I would want to know it. It likely wouldn't affect my willingness to hire them....since I don't begrudge anyone the opportunity to work..but i would be particularly interested if they gave the other job proper notice, and how they conducted their exit with the other job. Additionally, I would be curious about why they did not mention their current employment earlier. Just an FYI.
In this day of computer searches, and things if they do a good search, they will find some most likely, and you will and can get fired alot faster by not giving them what they ask.
I would definitely list all jobs within the last 5 years. Prior to that I would just list related jobs back for 10 years. I would then ask the employer if they wanted more.
judykaytee, why did you give me a disagree, you are agreeing with what I said. Which was to tell the truth. I said 'if you have nothing to worry about, just tell them', and you said 'give the correct info'.
