Not showing promotions on LinkedIn/Resume - seems like this is a thing, where I see people being promoted to manager suddenly not list der Associate/Consultant time separately anymore. Guessing the reason is to bluff and claim new position for a longer duration. Here’s the Q: Do employers reveal when the latest promotion was achieved in background checks?

I see plenty of people do this - PPMDs who don’t need to include entry level roles, an accident / not paying attention to LinkedIn functionalities, run out of resume room, or they feel it doesn’t matter if they’re performing at their current level

Recruiters have enough common sense to know that if you’re a manager 5-6 years out of school, you had to work your way up the ranks. And YOE is usually measured from when you started the job, regardless of level. I personally like showing progression, but it’s not a huge deal if people don’t feel like listing every single level and can do the job

Well I do it because at my firm they get you to perform the responsibilities of the level you want to get promoted to before you do. So yes technically I was promoted on a specific date, but my experience in that role really started long before.

No, they don’t. The only thing employers confirm is the dates of your employment and in some cases, they may be asked if you’re eligible for rehire.

As a former Fed, it would be ridiculous for me to show each promotion as I advanced in grade level
