PP here, just make sure you fill everything in.  The contractor for the background investigation (which I think is out of business now) made a big deal about something relatively trivial during my background check interview.  IIRC it was something like I put the dates of one job from like 1/10 - 8/12 and the second job from 8/12 - present and they wanted to know how I could be working in two places at once.  [/quote]

Oh wow, that's scary.  They will ding you for making these trivial mistakes?  If so, maybe I should get the investigation all cleared before quitting my current job.  I feel I'm a good person, but you never know what little things they are going to ding you for.

So for past jobs, they want you to be precise to the exact dates?  That sounds impossible, I can barely remember the month in which I start/quit prior jobs, let alone the exact date.  Like, I think I started a job in Jan 2009, but I wasn't sure if it was Jan or Feb.  Surely they wouldn't be happy about that.  [/quote]

I mean I still got the job, it's just something that came up in the background interview and they were really aggressive about it.  On the dates, just make sure your resume and background check form are consistent.  It's unlikely they'll check and even if they did you can still just say "oops" it was a mistake.  It's not an intense background check like a TS clearance.[/quote]

I found my dates for a previous job was off by 1 month on the resume.  Maybe I will call HR and send in a revised resume just so the forms and resume are fully consistent.  Good idea?

Does this "public trust" investigation take place after EOD?  If so, how long did this take?  Must be stressful to be working and also have this thing hanging over your head.  [/quote]
