I've been applying for jobs, and not getting many calls for interviews. I wonder if it's because of some discrepancy between my resume and anything that might come up in a background check. I can't put a few of the jobs that I've had in the last seven years because I was at them for only three weeks (4 jobs, to be precise). The other job I can't put down because the place went out of business back in 1998.
What can I do? What exactly IS contained in a background check, anyway? Do they run a scan of your SSN and get a list of every job you've ever had where you received a paycheck? Or do they only do a check on the jobs that you put down on an application?
