Employee doing a background check, anything to worry about?
I just got offered a job, and they said they are doing a background check on me. I've never been convicted of a crime, or charged or anything (clean record, and I also have good credit).
They asked for 5 years of employment from me for 'address verification,' which I gave to them.
However, I did not include a temporary job that I had for about 2 weeks this past summer. Is this anything to be concerned about? I did not include it because it was for a 2 week time period.
Would this show up on the background check at all?
Also, I already accepted the position.

The background checks will not show private employment of any sort. They may include government work and military service, that's it.

Your employment history is not recorded on your background check. You have nothing to worry about. They can only check the employers you listed because there is no secret database that lists all the employers you have had.
Congratulations... when they do the background check and credit check it means they want to hire you and the only thing between you and that job is the result of those two reports. Since you already know that you have a clean background and good credit.... once again.... Congratulations, You got the job.

i assume it truly relies upon how the job takes your movements into accountability. My co-worker became interior the army for 8 years as an E-6 and final twelve months, he became caught employing somebody else's credit card and had spent over $a million,2 hundred grand. It grew to alter right into a federal crime and it additionally conflicted together with his military occupation. Went with the aid of State Courts and armed forces Courts (JAG) and at last, have been given discharged from the armed forces. he's in Chicago now and he advised me, that is great complicated to get job presented to him by using fact of his song checklist..So, i assume something that doesn't contain an instantaneous hazard in direction of the organization/job, then i think of you will possibly desire to be nice.

You should have included it. If asked just state it was a short term assignment, it did not contribute to your job skills and did not consider it important.
