When a company background check asks for last 7 years of employment history, should I put everything? Like even the restaurant I worked at when I was 16?

I put everything, unless it says something like "relevant experience" or "since university graduation".

A while ago I did this, put everything down going years back, one place I worked at went out of business, and they actually made me produce a W-2 to prove it was real and I worked there... lol

Just put high school for the last 2 years

I only put professional experience, i.e. excluding stuff before my first internship. Unless there's a specific security type thing (which I have no personal experience with) I don't see why a company would be entitled to every odd job I worked in high school and early college in the first place, and I'm certainly not interested in hunting down old documents and references who don't remember me

Check the fine print at the bottom; sometimes it'll let you skip any "non-professional" work experience, anything before college, anything before age 18, etc.

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
