I had an interview at the local Veterans Hospital, and now they are doing a background check. What will they get? Will they see all of my past employment, even jobs that I only worked for a month or two (that I didn’t put on my resume)? This is not for a security/police job.
Can an employee background check discover a unmentioned previous employer?

I was laid-off “due to downsizing” from a company in which I was employed 11 mos. It was a customer service job in which I hated and I’d like to leave it off my resume in general. If an employer performs a background check, can they discover I once worked for a company and failed to mentioned it?
Who Needs an Employment Background Check in California?

What are called “employment background checks” have proven beneficial to employers and employees, particularly in California. Why?
They prevent future damages caused by negligent hiring.
As an employer in California, you are held responsible for screening all individuals who will be involved in your business. You are expected to anticipate potential problems that could occur in the future, especially those could be caused by new employees. If, as an employer, you fail to do so and as a consequence, inflict damage on the company and/ or its employees, the company owner could be sued for “Negligent Hiring.”

Will a background check reveal work history not listed on my resume?

I’ve recently been filling out applications and I decided not to post most of my work history. These jobs that I did not post were held for less than 2 months or ones I felt were not relevant. When they run my background check, will they see all jobs I’ve had?
