Got laid off recently and received a job offer with another firm within 15 days of termination date - Now filling out the background check form - should I enter laid off employer as current employer or previous employer - and if background check reveals exact employment dates including termination date which for me was just 15 days ago - Need to know any risk if at all / interview with my future employer started while I was employed and in the process got laid off

You fill out the start date and end date as it really is. That's all you need to worry about

No one will care honestly. I was 60 or so days apart from my layoff date and resuming the next role, and had my first call/application with the recruiter whilst I was still employed. Nothing changed for me. Don't overthink this one.

They are not going to care because you clearly have the skills they want. You can even say that you were looking to move on and to prioritize your search you left.

Why would you call it a rebound? Maybe it's a career making opportunity of a lifetime and he/she can be thankful that the layoff happened and redirected him/her! Let's please be positive for OP. Layoffs are tough.

Not sure if you liked my replies or think my soft skills are deplorable.

I left a top 10 IT firm for an opportunity to be independent. My focus is technical project management.

Are you still within your notice period? I think your last day of employment is the last day of the notice period.

I would put down the honest dates. I’m really happy for you, congrats on the new job!!!! Godspeed

Previous employer, worked dates

Even after creating 2 asked program and answering 80% of their questions correctly.
