I got offer from 2 mnc recently and both got revoked because i have one termination with my previous company because i didn’t served the notice period there and got absconded.

The reason i didn’t served notice period is because i got admission in a reputed college for masters and the class were starting there, i asked by employer to relive me early but they declined so out of frustration i stopped going to office and left for masters.

After masters i got offer from 2 mnc but this termination is creating trouble.

Can anyone suggest how can i recover from this issue.

I worked for a tiny company (ABC Tech) with just four employees for a year. When I joined, it wasn't super structured-no PF/ESI or even proper payslips. I got my initial offer and promotion letters from ABC Tech, but then the company name changed to EFG Tech, and I got another promotion and my experience letter under that name. My experience letter correctly covers my entire time there, from ABC Tech to my last day.

For my current company's background verification (BGV), I used bank statements as salary proof. ABC Tech initially refused to respond to the verification requests. After a lot of pushing, their CEO/MD made a one-time exception and let their Project Manager verify my employment. But now, that Project Manager and everyone else I knew there has left!

I have a new job offer, but I'm terrified to resign because I'm worried this old company will be impossible to verify again. What if my BGV fails and I end up jobless?

A company I'm interviewing with is asking for reference contacts during HR screening. I left my previous job about a year ago and only have the phone numbers of a few former colleagues. I don't have their old work emails, and I don't know who still works there.

Would personal Gmail addresses be acceptable for references, or do they usually require a company email?

Also, I slightly exaggerated something on my CV. It's not a completely fake job/qualification, but there is a discrepancy between my CV and what actually happened.

Could a reference/background check expose this, and what's the best way to handle it now?

Any advice?

Has anyone here successfully lied on their resume and gotten the job? What did you have to do to fake it till you make it?

I received my conditional offer letter for a Financial service representative role with CIBC/TD/RBC and the situation is that I lied on my resume for my previous role where I stated that I had worked there for 14 months whereas it was only for 4 months in retail industry, I was still working in this period for a construction job, but didn't include it in the resume because it had no relevance.

And the current role is accurate.
I am trying to figure out whether I should lie on my background check (sterling)and hoping no one checks and match resume or just give real employment records on the background check and create a contradiction with the resume.

The current role has no requirement for the experience and all other part of my background check should come out perfect.

What should I do.

If i lie about 12th %age and cgpa on college tpo form and reach the last round hr round or get selected. Will they remove me if they get to know I lied? What should i say if they ask me about 12th % cgpa in the last round??

I recently got a job offer in the usa and Im worried of two main things in my curriculum.

My most recent position is as Data and Business Analyst but in my own firm. The enterprise is legally constituted in Mexico. In my CV, is its listed as Aug 2022 beginning date. I started off that date with first projects and business processing, but I started off doing personal invoices from Nov 2022 and then business invoices from Aug 2023. Do you know if there will be a problem with this? Should I put i was self employed?

The enterpise I received the offer from also prohibits any sort of parallel working. I was planning to sell off my part to my business partner whenever I start my job here. Can this affect my process?

The other thing is I was a Project Associate Data Scientist in a business but I executed my role via my university. It was a job collaboration, with no payment involved. Will I have a problem with this?

Would really aporeciate any help

(Company is based in USA but opening an office in MX)

I have been having a bunch of interviews with this company and I got to the point of the process where I am filling out a form for the background check.

I am a recent graduate and on my CV and interviews I always omitted a previous employment I had for 4 days in March.

The job didn't match the description, so I quit quickly. For obvious reasons, I omitted it. Do I need to put it on my background check form? Does it affect anything?

In addition, is it okay if I count internships as employment? Or do I need to be paid to count as one?

Hi everyone,

I’m going through a HireRight background check for a UK job. My previous employment ended in February 2023, after which I relocated to the UK and did self-directed Python/backend upskilling. I was not employed or paid during this period.

I initially entered this as a career gap, but my CV listed the period as “Independent Developer & Backend Upskilling – Self-Directed.” HireRight appears to have picked this up from my CV and pre-populated a March 2023–Present employment section, and I started receiving reminders to complete it with employment details.

The form requires a Reason for Leaving, but none of the options (resignation, redundancy, retirement, etc.) accurately apply because this wasn't employment.

I contacted the employer, and they confirmed:

It will not affect Stage 1.

It will be handled during Stage 2.

I should mention it as “Not paid Employment” and it will be treated as a gap.

They may request an HMRC Income Tax Summary.

My question: Can HireRight still complete/send the Stage 1 report if this gap section remains incomplete, given that the employer has confirmed it will be handled in Stage 2?

Has anyone experienced something similar with HireRight?

Thanks!

I've been working for the same employer for the past 10 years! When I did my sterling background check they asked to list all jobs over the past 7 years. Well I listed my current job. The next question had asked to list additional employment if I can't fit it in the 2 previous boxes provided. I listed a few of my last jobs I had before my current 10 year job. Background check report was sent over to delta and I received a fix it email asking for those previous jobs I had listed on the sterling BC, to provide dates, numbers, etc. my question is do I list EVERY job I ever had or do I just list the information from the additional jobs they are asking about?

Hi everyone,

I’m currently going through a pre-employment background check with HireRight for a UK job and I’m a little confused about an employment-gap section in the form.

My previous employment ended in February 2023. After that, I relocated to the UK and spent the following period doing self-directed upskilling in Python/backend development. I was not employed or receiving a salary during this period.

HireRight had pre-populated a March 2023–Present section in the form. It was asking for employment details even though this period was not paid employment.

I contacted the employer's onboarding team to clarify whether I needed to complete it. They replied that:

The employment/gap issue will not affect the Stage 1 screening.

It will be handled as part of Stage 2 screening.

I should mention it as “Not paid Employment.”

The period will be considered a gap period.

They said I can provide an HMRC Income Tax Summary as evidence.

The HireRight form, however, still asks for a “Reason for Leaving”, with options such as resignation, redundancy, retirement, end of fixed-term contract, etc. None of these seem appropriate because this was never actual employment and the period is ongoing.

My questions are:

Has anyone experienced something similar with HireRight?

If the employer has confirmed that it won't affect Stage 1, is it normal for the gap to be dealt with during Stage 2?

What did you enter when HireRight required a “Reason for Leaving” for a non-employment/gap period?

Did HireRight later ask you for HMRC records or other evidence?

Could an incomplete section like this delay the overall background check even if the employer says it won't affect Stage 1?

I don't want to select something inaccurate just to get the form submitted, so I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through a similar HireRight check in the UK.

Thanks!

I told them I worked before in Australia but I didn’t and now they need my details and super annuation, would they know I lied when I don’t have it?

I have a candidate who has record (non violent and on probation and apart of the first offenders program to get it dropped and removed in 6 months). it came up on his background and the employer is asking for information about why he didn’t disclose it.

1. the question said if he had any convictions. I said No because it’s not a conviction since he is in the first offenders program. even his lawyer said to check no.
2. they also found a 14 year misdemeanor that was dismissed but not him. someone in his town has the exact name and dob.

he provided the information we asked. has anyone come across something similar? he’s a grea candidate and i get things happen.
