Hi Fishes, I have received an offer from Barclays for AVP position. But the role discussed during interview was for Tech Delivery Manager whereas the offer letter mentions it as Tech Delivery Lead. Can you guys please suggest if it is the same role or should I request recruiter to get the role updated? Moreover it would be great if any of you can shed some light on the prospects/challenges of this role based on your experiences. Barclays Barclays global service center

Look, I've had folks that apply to where I work and I've teased out the current resume gap was actually full. Ive given them the reframing: yes, I took a job. Within the first 90 days it was clear that this wasn't a culture fit and would limit my longer term goals. While I have pushed past those first 90 days, I've been actively looking to find something that leverages my expertise in (and now here is where you call out your experience in the things this new firm has highlighted).
Disclose it. Never get caught up in a compliance issue. Have a very good story/explanation prepared.
From my understanding the background check is only verifying your submitted resume. So I don’t think you need to disclose
They’re in late stage interviews for this job with a 5 month gap on their resume sounds like wherever and whoever they’re interviewing with is cool with it. That’s who matters. So why disclose it now they’re clearly not concerned they have a 5 month gap in their resume.
Did you say you're still at your prior firm or leave a gap? If the former, then that'll show up in a background check when the verify start and end of employment.
You didn’t understand the comment.
You were at firm A
You joined firm B
You are interviewing at firm C
If you told firm C that you are still employed at firm A, then you lied and it will show up on background check.
Update - i told them i had left a recent job - they didn't care, just wanted an updated resume
