Currently unhappy at a firm I joined 5 months ago and in the final rounds of an interview for a firm i like. I applied with the most recent firm omitted from my resume since it’s been short and I have yet to bring it up in interviews. Will I have to disclose that info at some point or only if they ask? If I get an offer, should I tell them or does it not really matter? I’m under the impression it’ll probably show up on my background check though.

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.

Wondering if I’m making the right choice
