Won't be an issue. Just be sure about what you write though. Mostly they check this

Can they not figure out from the PF account?

They can't access your PF passbook...only UAN and pf no...won't make a difference trust me...just mention i didn't do anything in those 2-3 months

Brand Marketing Manager

Nothing will happen..till the gap is within 6 months

Why 6 months exactly? Any specific reason?

When you fill professional details in the company’s portal, the system will check if the LWD (last working day) is less than 6 months or not. If it is more, system will not accept. 
 May not be true for all MNCs, but happens in some of them for sure.

Product Manager

Yes they can check PF account if they smell anything fishy

How to not be in that space by not revealing

They can check pf account only after you join them

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Need some help with Background verification in a MNC.

In my past experience:

- I got laid off on May 2020
- in July 2020 I got a job, did not like it and left early by Sept 2020 
- I joined a new company on Oct 2020 

In my resume , I have skipped this experience and mentioned other dates correctly. I didn't think it would be relevant!

1. Experience  A - Till May 2020
2. Experience C - from Oct 2020 - ..

1. Would this be a problem for background verification?
2. Should I inform the HR about this ?

Background verification process

Background verification process- Grapevine

Asking for an HR perspective to help with this one.
I didn't mention a short stint( around 2 months) in my resume which I did almost 3 years back and I've gotten offer letter from another company. Should I disclose this in my background verification form or just continue not to list it. Its one thing to not include it in resume, not so sure about BGV form. The good part is the short stint didn't deposit PF so it does not reflect on my UAN number. Also the company is no longer in existence.

Need advice regarding short stint

Corporate Strategist

Hi Guys,

I am currently working at a startup and was previously working at an IT MNC for 3 months. I was put on the bench and laptops/assets were not even delivered for 2 months of requesting. When the assets arrived there was 3 weeks of compliance and regulatory training before which my position was eliminated as a result of business restructuring and downsizing. I got my startup offer (strategy type role)by then and I resigned from the IT firm with proper reliving letter and fnf settlement. I have now got an offer from a boutique consulting firm(after working in my startup for around 6 months) . I have however not mentioned this IT mnc in my resume at all since I did not gain any kind of work experience at this firm and it was not adding any value to my resume in terms of the types of roles I am looking for, I wanted to keep my other internships and startup tenure as they were more valuable. Is this going to cause an issue if I undergo a bgv process in my new firm? I have all the proper exit documents and there is no overlap of employment anywhere. Please advise. I am a 2022 pass out.

Thanks to everyone who responded! I am super stressed cz of the situation and counting on the community because i’ve got nowhere else to turn to. It’s going to be a long post, but please keep up if you think you can remotely find a solution to this🙏🏻

In my post, I mentioned that my relieving letter states the date as "Dec," as verbally communicated by my ex-employer. However, today when I requested the letter from HR, they went back on their words and they indicated it would show October to align with their records for audits which would otherwise create a discrepancy since my final settlement was in October.

Now, my resume states my experience until December, prompting questions during interviews about why I left in December. 
However, for background verification form that i had to urgently submit today, I listed my last working date as October because supporting docs will mention october only and i was out of time & options. 

1. Will this two-month discrepancy on my resume cause significant issues? Are the dates in resume and BGV form matched? If not, whats given more preference?

2. How do I explain the advance payment reflected in my payslip? If the new org comes to label it as severance pay, I lack evidence to prove otherwise, especially since my resignation was verbal.

3. Will my new manager come to know of the disparity between my resume and BGV data?

4. ⁠I need to provide last 3 months payslips and i told new HR I'm seeking payslips for November and December. Now, My ex-employer can't provide them as well since payment was earlier. How do I cover up and offer payslips to HR for Aug-Sep-Oct instead? How do I explain the Oct payslip discrepancy mentioned in point 3?

Thank you again everyone, and i advance. Looking forward to a way out from this mess🙏🏻

Update- ex-org screwed up, BGV data

I had a short stint in a firm like < 3 months... so If I don't show this experience in my resume will it come later in background verification? 
The thing here is there's this small Joining bonus associated with this and if the candidate doesn't show this experience, he doesn't have to do pay it back in fnf recovery but got to trade off experience and relieving letter which doesn't matter in this case as the experience is quite short here. 

so folks any experiences or views around this?

Program Manager

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I have 4 years of total experience(2 years prior MBA then an year gap, I was preparing for MBA entrance during this time and 2 years post MBA). 

Now I’m looking for jobs, can I show an year of work at my friends startup? To fill the gap?  

Can you tell me how can it impact during BGV, can they check via UAN on PF? Or I can go ahead and do this, it will be a game changer for me if I can add an year more of work-ex. Please Help!!

Senior Product Manager

In 2022, I worked in company A for less than 2 weeks and then left to join my current company B. 

I don't want to show that less than 2 weeks on my resume for future opportunities because I was still in onboarding process, no codebase access and no project was allocated . I realized joining company A was a mistake. 

Reason why I left was at the start of interview process I confirmed that I will get to work on React and they confirmed. But when I joined company A, I got to know they have 0 active React projects and all are in Aurelia (not even Vue/Angular). It was the 1st time I heard about Aurelia framework and decided to resign as I was already getting other better offers. I had discussion with Company A HR and manager and explained them reason of my resignation, they accepted and at the end of month I got salary of those 7 days in my bank.

Is it ok if I don't mention these 7 days in my resume because I did nothing there and was still going through onboarding?

I don't want to show it on my resume because it might indicate to my future employer that I am unreliable and can leave quickly after joining but actually it was not my mistake. They lied and I was lucky to have other offer. I fear future employers might not even shortlist my resume due to those 7 days.

Suggestions?

Need suggestion on hiding irrelevant experience

In my BGV process it was found that I was a junior DS in one of the previous orgs. In my resume I mentioned it as just DS, without the 'junior'.
The HR has informed this has come up as a red flag from the BGV company.

This is weird. Has this ever happened to anyone and will this lead to termination? If yes, do they also ask to pay back the salaries? I have already worked for 3 months here.

Question on background verification

Senior Data Scientist

In future, If I get selected in any company and in background verification would I get reject?
because 
I don’t have any documentation of 1st company in my PF account, but I don't consider it as part of my work experience. Its just 5 months I was in that company. 

I broke the employment bond of that company amd joined another company as a fresher. 

That why I am afraid to switch the current company.
