Mainly how long you've been working at a job for.
Like saying you work at a job for a year but really its 5 months. do they check that?

I'm trying to find out if employers check your previous job titles. Like if I say I was a manager, but I wasn't, would they find out?

They don't check your education, which is why you've seen some high profile exposals of people in important positions who claimed to graduate from a school when they didn't. They only verify if ypu ever attended the school, not if you graduated.

Depends what type of company and position you applied for.

Why not just tell the truth about how long you've been there?


I'm sure he needs a job very bad and sometimes people are forced to do things they really don''t want to do in this over saturated economy and market.
He knows when a company say "one year of experience" they want one year of experience ,nothing less. How else does he gain more experience if every job reject you because you don't have the minimum.

This happened to me some years ago, I got laid off before I hit my two years of experiences in my field, I only needed three month to have the minimum. I was getting rejected a lot so I changed some shyt, I hustle this job market like the CAC's that started these companies , go read about some of these CEO's they didn't get to that point in there life by being righteous.

Every company policy is different. Dont take anyones advise unless you specifically know how the company human resources vets its prospects.

My company hired a third party background check and the company requested w2s to match salary and job title as verification. They even haulted my on boarding because i listed my job title as something different they had on file. They used how much income stated i made and my w2 to calculate how much time i worked for the company based off the numbers.

College transcripts were verified to make sure it stated Degree Awarded and they contacted the degree verification or whatever it was.

Depending on the job, they are def checking work history but i can see how some lower paying jobs may just take your resume at face value.
