Background Check
I have a background check form I need to submit through HireRight (3rd party verifier) for a well known company in SF. I have already received an offer and start in 3 days (no idea why they waited to do this until now). So here’s the problem: I can verify all my past jobs and education except from one part time job I had on weekends at a Dunkin Donuts when I was 16 for 3 months (I quit promptly). The store apparently doesn’t keep records from that far back (almost a decade ago) and I have no W2s, paystubs, or other way to verify I worked there (no one remembers me). What should I do in this situation? Just leave it off my work history? Seems silly anyone would give a shit about a job like that when I was a minor, but want to know what y’all think I should do.
Leave it off if job was more than 7 years go
Did they actually ask you to provide your lifetime employment info or is it just you trying to overkill? I don’t think the DD job was in your resume and most likely has nothing to do with the position you are applying for - meaning I wouldn’t even mention it unless specifically asked.
Nah definitely not on my resume haha - it’s ancient history and I’ve never even talked about it since high school. There was a checkbox at the end of form that said: “I certify that I have no other previous employers” so it seems they want my entire work history. I was weary of leaving it off because I don’t know how an unverifiable job would be handled in the report / by the company - it’s guaranteed to be flagged because I checked myself and there’s no way to verify. I’ve never had to do anything this extensive before so I’m just confused.
I think you're overthinking things - which is fine, I'm sure you're anxious. That said, don't worry about a dunkins donuts highschool job. They didn't spend all that money interviewing you to fire you over a coffee chain.
They're just gonna give their findings to the company and the company will decide whether it's OK. They won't tell the company "don't hire this guy", at least not without giving reasons, and then the company can still do whatever it wants and hire you anyway.
What happened?
How did it go? Did you start before the background check was completed?
^ want to know as well
Leave if off...
Even if they ask you to “certify you have no additional previous employers”?
