I found myself in a strange situation regarding my job search. Back in 2025, while I was enrolled in a part-time MBA program at WGU, I started applying for jobs. I managed to secure a contract position in New York City, which forced me to withdraw from school due to financial reasons. Now, with my contract ending in August, I've been actively looking for new roles, both internally and externally. I used an old resume for my applications, but I completely forgot to update the graduation year for my MBA program. To my surprise, I've received several interview invitations despite this inaccuracy. Now I'm wondering if I should disclose this mistake during the interviews or wait until I potentially receive an offer and undergo a background check. I've already updated my resume for future applications, but I’m currently in three interview processes and would be happy to accept any offer. I’m really torn about what to do next. Should I come clean about the incorrect graduation date now or keep quiet until later?
