The next time you fill out a job application, make sure that you don't ad lib or omit critical information. Misrepresenting yourself on an application may knock you out of the running if you're found out. Many applications include a disclaimer to this effect. Say that an application requires you to list your employment history dating back ten years, but it only has enough space for you to list three employers. It's your responsibility to attach the requested information. If you don't, you may be accused of deliberately omitting or falsifying your work history and denied employment. But if you were to confuse your dates of employment on a particular job, an employer may understand, as long it can be verified that you worked there. To avoid these kinds of mishaps, be forthcoming on job applications and during the interview process. Also, take a written record of your employment history in case you forget dates, names, or other important facts. For more information, consult a labor and employment law professional.
