I applied and had initial phone screen with my resume showing current for my last role. A few days after, my position was eliminated. I was right to be searching! I wasn’t asked and didn’t bring it up in interviews, but I spoke about the job in past tense and sent a thanks email with updated resume attached showing the end date. The difference is under 3 weeks of a discrepancy. Do you think I need to proactively address this before a background check? How to frame it? Don’t want to look suss.

No need to proactively address it. If it comes up for whatever reason just explain as you did above- your previous role was eliminated in between your interview rounds. Nothing suss about that

Thank you! I’m just anxious because this is a phenomenal opportunity and I don’t want anything to jeopardize it. I’ll wait and see if it gets brought up. My references know I’m not employed and my LinkedIn is updated so it definitely isn’t a secret, it just genuinely didn’t come up in this interview process yet.

No, and to be honest I would not have even brought it up.

I haven’t brought it up yet, and won’t unless I’m asked about it. I’m sure I’m worrying for nothing. But it’s just a weird timing situation and I’d hate for anyone to think I was being dodgy when I just didn’t want to put the cart before the horse or undermine my negotiating power.

With the date being so soon and it being verifiable, I wouldn’t worry much about it. As long as everything is/was accurate when you hit the submit, that’s all that matters.

Thanx for the reassurance! It’s a difference of one month on paper but really across only 2 weeks. I’ll be sure to update here with the end result, so anyone who finds themselves in a similarly weird situation can hopefully find this post and read the advice.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid?

I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
