I just filled out some applications and I didn't list two jobs. Both were meant to be part-time, 2nd jobs. One was a department store that I only went to a couple hours of orientation. They hired me for a different position than what they told me and it conflicted with my primary job. The other one was at a gas station and it was almost the the same situation. They wanted to work me different hours than what I had put on my application. So, I only worked a few hours there, too. I just honestly forgot about the jobs, even though it has only been a couple of years ago. Can that come back to bite me, if one of these companies hire me? If so, what can I do to fix it before it comes an issue? Thanks in advance.

Right, put them on a separate sheet of paper if you have to, explain that they were part-time gigs. If there's a state printout (comes form employer paid taxes) in your state, the job may show up, so it's better to list it.

i'm no expert, just starting training the end of the month, but i'd say be honest with your recruiter when they contact you.
Mine was not totally accurate, i cant remember hire dates or quit dates, and i told her that, its some where in there, but dont quote me on it. it could be off, i could of missed it totally, going back 15 years is a long time to remember days and months..ronin Thanks this. -
State something like:
I listed the hours I was available, at the time. They hired me for different hours. Technically I was hired, but not really.
Make sure it is clear that it was there error and not your inability to commit and be reliable.

if you received ANY compensation at ANY time, you WERE employed by those part time jobs..
but now comes a shade of gray...you HAD regular full time jobs, to me that is MORE important than the part time jobs, BECAUSE you have to account for ALL your time, and since the full time jobs account for your time, i would NOT sweat the details about the part time jobs.
you can "on a separate piece of paper", list those part time jobs, or forgedaboudit.....
all those part times jobs would show is "extra income", not really any time line.......UNLESS.....they were part time jobs you had, and NO OTHER jobs at the time...again, it's to account for your time....but since you had FULL time jobs AND these part times as well...??
forgedaboudit...they at this point only go to show "extra income"ronin Thanks this. -
The separate piece of paper is only for using if he runs out of space on the app, nothing more.
In Texas (and Washington), an amployer can access a state website and run your history based on where other employers have paid taxes on your behalf. While it's not an actual employer listing, it shows, like I said, someone paying taxes on your behalf. So, everyone you've worked for, as a W-2 employee, shows up on the report.
If your app doesn't match the tax report...they wiould wonder why you're hiding something. -
ronin Thanks this.

If you have any doubts ask your recruiter or whomever gives the orientation. Most carriers won't actually start checking a recruit's background until they get to orientation.
ronin Thanks this. -
Did the person get fired and they don't want to show the job, for fear of a bad reference?
Has nothing to with taxes at all, actually.
