I’ve had so many great interviews recently, where everyone is nodding, laughing, saying things like “great example” and “I love that campaign” and regularly going way over the allotted time (an hour instead of 30 mins), etc. but somehow there’s always someone who’s a better fit in the end.

Background check question. Had a grad school project on my resume with a company. Project was 8 months work with company and 3 months of prep training. This was considered a volunteer role and I have no W2s or anything associated.

On my BGC I listed the 11 months listed above. My previous resume listed this under my education, so I never had exact dates. Grad school was several years back.

Q1 is this kosher to list 11 months?
Q2 anything I should do to clarify?
Q3 does MBB care about vol?
