Do companies really do background check?

Dec 2, 2021 19 Comments

I want to resign from my current position for 2 reasons:

1- Have a very messed up personal life and want to spend some time making it organized (health, depression, family, asset management,...)

2- Learn some skills that I lack + prepare for interviews

I think I need 6 months off!

But then this Gap on resume would look terrible!

1-Can I claim that I have been employed over this time? Would my new employer, in practice, do background check and realize that I have terminated my work?

2-Can I claim that I have been working on my own business, which has not been successful?
