Question re application form
Applied for a Civil Service role and now concerned I made a mistake on the employment history section.
On the application I put my last role as 2016–2026. I’ve realised that during 2016 I was technically on secondment from another organisation before becoming a substantive permanent employee in 2017.
So the experience itself is genuine and I was working there in 2016 one day a week, but the official permanent employment date is 2017.
The form only asked for years rather than exact months/dates, but I’m now panicking that if I get to pre-employment checks it’ll look like I lied on the application.
Has anyone had something similar come up during Civil Service onboarding/vetting? Do they normally ask you to complete a more detailed employment history form later where you can clarify dates?
Trying to work out whether this is a genuine issue or whether I’m massively overthinking it.
