what does a employment background check consists of?
I got laid off 5 months ago…on my resume i lied and it says im currently still working at my old job. I dont want employers to see ive been out of work for this long. Now can a background check see the dates i was working there?
Often times they call your old employer and verify the details on your resume.
So, it depends on what transpires on that call. usually, you can request they don’t contact your "present" employer.
btw, EMPLOYMENT Background Checks do not look at criminal records. That would be a Criminal Background Check.

All of the crimes you have comitted, if any. It shoes what you did wrong and what punishment you served for it. It also shows when you were convicted for the crime.

Yes, any potential employer will send a request to your former employer asking for employment dates and job title (they probably ask for more, but that’s all most companies give). Don’t lie.

ask your previous employer how good of a worker you are and if you did what you say you did.
