Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jessica Booker" data-source="post: 164640" data-attributes="member: 2672">It is not an issue about how you lost your job then - you were made redundant. That is with your employer not down to you and your performance.However, you should not be lying about your employment status though. If you are no longer employed by the company that needs to be reflected in the conversations you have with recruiters/interviewers or in the dates on your CV.They will check your employment dates through reference checking and if this does not match up to your CV, this will be raised as falsely presented information. I have seen job offers retracted on this basis.What is the period between you actually leaving your job and when you applied for this role? The saving grace here is if that is a very short period of time or you were still employed at the point you applied, this won’t be an issue. My concern is that you say your role ended 5 months ago, which is going to cause a very big concern if you only applied in the last 3 months for this role. It will be worse if you have applied to this role a matter of weeks ago.The fact there is another role not included in your CV too is also concerning.If you apply to any further roles, make sure your employment history is accurate with dates and jobs done.If based on what I have said is going to be an issue, you need to speak to the person who has been conducting your offer process and flag these discrepancies to them immediately. Dont let the reference check agency do this for you. You’ll need a pretty good excuse as to why this happened too - but to be frank I can’t see any legitimate excuse as to why you would present yourself to be in a role many months after you have left it.You need to be prepared that they may retract the job offer where you have presented false information - if this is for a law firm or any other regulated profession/sector, they won’t give a lot of leeway on this as it will be seen as deception.</blockquote>
