Hi, I worked for a very small company in the past and left that company on a very bad note. They could give bad remarks on my background verification, and I don't trust them anyway. How can I handle it in my future organization? I'm planning to get into a multinational corporation (MNC). Should I hide it and show a gap, or what should I do in such cases?

Sorry for the typo. I worked for that company in the past. It is a very small company, and the HR is the director there. They keep personal grudges whenever an employee leaves the company, breaking the service agreement.


Hi,

Hiding past employment may not be a wise decision. The reason being if your future employer somehow comes to know about it, it could become a black mark. Therefore, it's better to share the details of your past employment. If you have proper relieving orders, present them as proof. In the case of negative feedback during background verification, you may try to explain; it's the only thing you can do.

    If you were covered under the PF Scheme in a small company, it will be revealed when your PF membership is uploaded by the new company. If this is the case, there is no way to avoid disclosing your previous employment history. Make a decision based on this.

  • It would be better to disclose information about your employment history, explaining your work experience and previous employers. In most cases, even if the background check results are negative, prospective employers will be more understanding if you have already provided context.
