Omitting short jobs on work history?

If it is expunged they shouldn't be able to see it... Now if they do find it I would be like well that was expunged what illegal methods are y'all using to look into my history

 

Lol just put them down and make up a reason..90% of companies could care less as long as it doesn't affect their insurance.

 

Not necessarily. They aren't omniscient.

 

Last job app, I skipped one stupid 1099 job and it seemed to have no effect and I'm currently working.

 

I guess it's just a personal call then. It's hard to give advice on something like that because each person just has to make a personal decision.

 

The safest thing is to list all the jobs.
Hiding anything makes it look like you were trying to hide something, and that scares employers.

Trucking companies know they have a high turnover, so they are generally more interested in getting a good driver with a clean record, and hope they stay at least as long as average lol

I assume you just went to school to get your CDL?
That shows that you have invested in this career, and can stick to something, so some aborted jobs shouldn't be the deciding factor.

I also assume that you have had some longer term jobs?

 

How's UBER treating you?

 

I never list jobs I kept under 3 months like the ups seasonal I do. You can always list you were self employed to fill in gaps.

Gaps they get picky.....never got that BTW.... Oh we aren't going to hire this guy....he knows how to manage money and doesn't live paycheque to cheque. ::eyerolls::

Idiots.

Never had any problems. One company kept asking me for tax returns and I kept Trumping them....how bout you show me YOURS!!! None of your business xD

 

This is one of the very few times I find myself disagreeing, in part, with Chinatown. List what you can remember based on your personal honor but not because you could get caught in a lie.

Companies are required to do a background check. They do not do the background check because they want to do it and are nosy. They do it because the DOT audits and fines them if they don't do it. Office workers for Trucking companies are some of the laziest folks around. They only do the minimum.

The point is no one is judging you. Most companies have such a high turnover rate that they will take anyone with a pulse so long as they can check the little boxes the government makes them check.

I hire felons who have spent time in prison. I want someone who can live in a small place, away from home for long periods of time, and just enjoys the freedom of the road. Someone who gets the job done without having to rely on someone laying out all the rules for them. Do I care what their past is? No. I care what their future is. I look for someone who is wanting to improve their place in life because if they refuse to settle for less, they help the company grow.

Understand, you earn every dime you make in this industry. Companies are not giving you anything. Don't work cheap.

 

@Wigs - Wooly Rhino hires felons.
