And hope that either the new job doesn't run a background check or doesn't care about the discrepancy (very likely once you reach this point of the pipeline, but you never know).
- joezydeco 3y agoWas the resume lying? What's the discrepancy? If they want exact dates of employment then by all means give it to them. If they ask during the interview, tell them. I have never seen an interview cycle get that picky about dates. If you really want an unethical life protip, tell them you were caring for a sick family member. Do you think they'll press on that button?
- JohnFen 3y agoWhat discrepancy? I've been omitting months for a very, very long time and have gone through numerous background checks from different companies. Never once has omitting months been a problem or even something anyone wanted clarification about. I'm not saying anything that isn't accurate. I'm just rounding off irrelevant detail, no different than omitting the exact day that I started and ended each job. Nobody cares about what month you started and ended, unless your employment lasted less than a year, maybe.
