I recently accepted a job offer and now I'm in the process of completing a background check. I listed a company on my resume where I did some contract work, but it was mostly a few gigs that I was paid cash for. I also referred to myself as an independent contractor for a previous employer, and I can't quite remember what I wrote on the background check regarding that. I'm feeling anxious about having a company's name associated with that role since there's no official documentation to prove my work there. I know my two most recent employers will clear the background check since I was honest about my title, duties, and employment dates. I'm considering omitting that third job from the background check entirely, but I'm worried if HR at my new employer will cross-reference the background check with my resume. Any advice?
