When doing a background check for a new role, would putting in a ballpark job end date be acceptable or does it need to be the exact date? I have my official start dates from offer letters but I don’t know when the exact date was when i left the company

Month + year, or call your old employee verification hotline

Month and year. They will run a check with The Work Number in the background check, and any discrepancies are flagged to the person who ultimately reviews it.

Personally I think give or take 1-2 months is fine, even 4-6 probably is fine in this job market these days but anything over that is definitely pushing it

Networking: I’m trying to build a network with MBB employees but I’m searching for roles in another country where I’ve got minimal school connections. Should I start by building a network in my home country and ask them if they can put me in touch with someone in my target location? Or just go straight to people in my intended location with cold requests/emails? Thoughts and views welcome!
