Possible error?
I have a background check scheduled with CISIVE soon, and I just noticed that my resume isn’t entirely accurate. While the job titles are correct, the dates for one position are incorrect. How should I handle this? Should I inform them and submit an updated resume, or is it better to stay quiet? What’s the best course of action? 🥲

It’s definitely a good idea to address the discrepancy rather than ignore it. Being proactive can help avoid potential issues later on. Here’s what you can do:
Contact the HR: Reach out to the HR representative or recruiter who offered you the position. A simple email or phone call explaining the situation would work well.
Be Honest: Clearly explain that you noticed an error in the resume they have on file regarding the years of employment for one of your positions.
Provide Corrections: Offer to send an updated resume with the correct dates. Make sure to highlight any significant roles or achievements during that time to reinforce your qualifications.
Stay Positive: Express that you’re looking forward to starting the role and appreciate their understanding.
Addressing this now shows your integrity and attention to detail, which could reflect positively on you! Good luck!
