Hi, #Amazon wants to perform a #background #check on me following their job offer. On the third-party background check platform it says that I must provide my work history for the last 10 years and add all positions I have on my resume. One of the positions on resume is a #resume #filler. It's about me being a programmer for a research project when I was a student which lasted less than a month. The form requires me to provide contact information for each role and I don't even know whose contact info to put there for this particular position.
Will I fail the background check if I don't add this position on the platform?
Thanks!

P.S. It's non-AWS if it matters.

    If it is not paid work history, you have answered your own question, just leave it off.

    My partner just went through a background check with Sterling. Sterling only checked the information they were given by him. With the courts running short-staffed it took a few weeks to get the final report.

  • HireRight lol, they have edge cases they didn't dealt and overall is okay product.
    As for providing contact info, just fill out you do not know, or if you were paid, probably that university/college has you on HR system. I was also Student Researcher and got paid for it.

      I didn't get paid for it. Like I said it didn't even last for a month. I had meetings with the prof and a PhD student for that project but I didn't do much.

    Hi OP, how long did your background check take? Did you end up providing the information? I’m facing similar situation. Thank you.
