Applied for a position with my promoted title before it went in affect. My background check came back with my lower title. I told them I was recently promoted in interviews/resume.

You applied for a position with the title of a position you’ve actually never held?

Hmm. That seems inadvisable.

That’s ok - you had a pending promotion and companies realize that official title adjustments may trail by a few months

You might be fine, or you could run into someone like a former boss of mine who withdrew two separate offers when stuff like this came up ... “if they lied about this, what else are they lying about?” he’d say. Overreaction? Perhaps, perhaps not.

I would suggest being more transparent in the future, and be completely honest with them in any interactions about this.

You just need to clarify when it was announced and when it goes into effect.

I’m billing at the higher title and have been performing everything else is switched but the system. I expected the job hunt after getting the news from my counselor to take a lot longer than it did so thought it would’ve been good (only 4 weeks). If I stay like 2 more weeks I’ll have my new title, and I clarified with the company in interviews
