Previous Jobs on a Resume ?

Only put the jobs that you believe are relevant to the position you are seeking, whether they are in business or not. Your entire work history does not have to be on the document, but on the application, you will need to be meticulous. That is where the employer will verify whether you worked at those places, if they ever get to that point. Most of the time the background check will begin after the job offer is accepted. Doing background checks on 150 applicants is simply not practical.

1. If the job was less than 1 month, do not bother putting the company name especially if you were 'terminated'. It is acceptable in some California counties 6 months of job hunting and welfare unemployment insurance.

2. If the job was less than 1 month but was a temporary agency list the agency instead of the company, they have your records.

3. Other proof of prior employment is your tax record or paycheck stub.

- If the company refused to confirm you were a prior employee, call the local BBB.org, some employees are lazy or want to 'get even after the manager's mistake'.

- If the company clearly did not provide rest room breaks, rest periods, lunch breaks, or sudden schedule changes. Call the local City Hall and BBB, to review the small business city license, reseller license, waste license, or liquor license.

- Too many temporary employees under 2 months with University Degrees, students, or injuries (some unreported) will close the company. Just like hair or earings in burgers.

I would definitely put your job history on your resume. Most employers are trying to determine that you have a job history. You just need to be prepared to explain why an employer can not be confirmed. Be upfront with the interviewer. Tell them that you worked at such and such job. Let them know that the business closed and is no longer in operation.

Always put job history in a resume. Recruitment and

Hiring Managers will look for this information.

You should always list previous employment on your resume. If they check and the company is closed, they may ask you for your previous supervisors name and number.

Leaving this information off a resume creates holes in your employment that raise a lot of concerns.
