Background Check (Finance industry)

@MandM! I didn't try to hide something I just thought that's not worth stating. Anyway, do you think it's a good idea to send an updated resume when i confirm the invitation time via email?

No one can tell you. Every employer handles things differently and it depends who is handling your hiring process and their personal opinion on it.

I'm less likely to check an employee's background post hiring. I care about their performance firstly and their attitude/relationship with me and the team secondly. I don't really care about their past.

But anything that you do weird now, is just likely to get your application skipped. There are too many applicants out there that when employers hire, they want everything to run smoothly. Otherwise things will just go downhill from there.

Omission of a job is less of an important factor. What is a bigger issue is making up jobs that one never had.

And don't be annoyed that my opinion is you are hiding something. That's my opinion on how I would view a change of resume or mentioning this omission in the first interview. It doesn't matter what the truth is. It matters what your employer thinks of you. It's up to you to read them and make your own decision.

Thank you for your opinion. What concern me now is how I should approach it. Should I send an updated resume or verbally mention it? What do you think? The company is finance industry hence they are strict in background checking.

It is a recent job experience. I resigned in April,
then start the new job From July to August, then becsus of an injury I quit. Can I really not bringing it up?

I tend to agree with this too. I also hire people (not finance). KISS. (Keep It Simple Stupid).

Seriously. You are looking like a moron right now even on this thread. An interview is about the IMPRESSION you make. The impression you are making on this thread is of a needy individual unable to think clearly. I wouldn't hire you. Stand back. Think about these things from the perspective of an employer. Think about the value you will bring to the job, focus on that. Focus on what's important. If someone asks you a question, answer it. Just be HONEST. Don't lie to make things sound better. Don't leave things out in the first place, but if you do make a mistake, don't keep digging! You just look bad. Self confidence goes a long way.
