OK ladies I really need a kind word because my stomach is in knots!! I have read every thread I could find concerning background checks and employment history and I think you guys have provided some great advice but I am still scared to death!! I have recently completed all the requirements necessary for my two year biotechnology program. The only thing left is a three month internship in a local lab. If I don't complete the internship then I don't get my degree. So part of the internship requires that I fill out an employment application, which includes a background check. On the application I filled out my complete work history including dancing but listed it as "self-imployed and "entertainer" because I know this information is on my tax forms. I felt the need to be completly honest because a background check will find this information. I am so scared that this will look bad on my application but I feel that lying and it coming out later would be much worse. Did I do the right thing? Has anyone here transitioned into the real world and been honost about their past? Did you get the job? I have no criminal record of any kind and all of my references are great but I feel that this will end badly!! I can't eat or sleep because of my nerves. I have to fax the application tommorow. I am so nervous about this. Any advice or personal experiences would be appreciated!![]()
