Background check advice
I got myself in a sticky situation here need advice - i recently got fired from my corporate job and then a few days later had a final round interview at a new company and talked as if i was still working at the place i got fired from.
i received an offer and am now nervous for the background check. need advice on how i should handle the background check. should i be truthful about my final day at my old company? and then what if HR asks me about why im not working there anymore and why i didn’t mention it in the interviews?
So firstly, if they ask me, should i be truthful that i was fired? (there was NO misconduct) or should i tell them i was laid off or quit?
i see a few options for the background check:
1- Entering the correct date in the background check and hope they don’t catch it
2- Enter a date a week after the actual date i got fired (since the interview was 4 days after i was terminated)
3- Say i still work there (idk ab this one lol)
Any advice will be appreciated, thank you!
