People say to tailor/tweak your resume for the job your applying for. But what happens when you do get the job and your tweak resume doesn't show every job Ora date/year was off. The company does their own Background check! So your not sure what they will see! So, it's not the types of background where you are filling in the pertinent information.

I think you might be a bit confused on the concept. Tweaking your resume doesn't suggest lying. You emphasize the skills that are relevant to the job you are applying for in your history. You shouldn't be omitting or deleting any history, nor should you be changing the dates of the jobs you did work. Just emphasize what is pertinent to the job you are applying for. For example, if leadership skills are important on the new job, tailor you experience to where you explain how you demonstrated leadership in each of your past jobs. That is what they mean by tailoring your resume. Good luck!

your resume doesnt need to show every job you had, only relevant ones matter. working burger king on the weekends might show up on your background check, but unless you're a manager there, probably not relevant to your current role. it's not considered lying or deception. your resume is meant to highlight your prior relevant experience and achievements, not tell your life story

I want to ask for a 20%raise, knowing that the company is planning the year budget around now should I give my manager a heads up as to what I’m expecting before my salary review? I got a 0.6% raise at the start of 2020 and a 4% in April this year. The raise this year came with the title of “Lead” and more work responsibilities, talking with a co-worker we now make about the same amount. I started working here right out of college (10 years).
