On background check

How does background check at companies such as amazon, google, facebook and microsoft like? Is it possible to hide two months of short term work? ( i quited after two months at a firm)

They only care you don't lie. Which you're about to do. They couldn't verify one of my past jobs and it was a whole process. I only worked there for 10 days and was honest, no issues. Why do you want to hide it?

Because I guess the employer would find it weird that I worked for a firm for only quite a short while

If they already decided to hire you, they don't give a shit. Just be honest. It's an HR thing now, not an interview thing. What they are checking for is anything illegal, possible competition agreements etc. Not "oh this guy had a shirt term work thing. Probably contract deal". Don't lie. That will lose your offer
