I recently applied for a new trucking job and had to go through a background check with First Advantage. My work history includes three jobs: I worked at job A (a forklift position) from March 17 to March 23, then at job B (a non-driving role) from March 23 to June 23, but I was let go after the probation period. Currently, I’m employed at job C, which is a CDL trucking job, since June 23. In my background check, I left job B off my resume and the application, extending the dates of job A to cover the gap until I started at job C. However, I found out that all three jobs are listed on my employment verification through myworknumber.com, meaning they will see job B even though I didn’t include it. Now, I’m really worried about how to handle this situation. Should I come clean and explain that I accidentally left job B off because it was such a short stint? Or should I say I didn’t think it was necessary to include it since it wasn’t in the trucking industry? I’m concerned about the implications of this omission and whether I might be seen as dishonest. I really want this new job and I’m feeling stressed about how to cover my tracks.
