Employers check dates, trust me. If you do not recall exact dates then list months (January 1983 - July 1990), I would not list employment beyond 10 years unless you are applying for a job that requires security clearances. If that is the case then you will need specific information. Call each company going backwards and ask if they can release the information to you for start and end dates of your employment.

I hope you read this! Top Secret positions with the government and government contractors don't go back 25 years. If, you are imposing this restriction on yourself...Don't.
A reasonable amount of time to give a work history would be 10 years in your case. You can mention casually that you worked at these other trades only part time or as a temporary worker in your cover. One of you answerers also suggested that you just leave the old out or say they no longer exist. In either case, employers from 25 years ago don't even have your files on computer archives, they're in boxes in some warehouse or have been thrown away. Employer do not have to keep records that long.
Good Luck.

Have you got a mother - they normally remember things quite well about their children?
You could ask the Tax Office, but their records only go back 6 yrs
Of course, if you don't know the accurate answer, how is your potential employer ever going to be able to check? I think that as long as you get the recent dates right for the employers you are going to give as a reference, you can make the other dates up..

Write a disclaimer with your detail. This was a long time ago and to the best of my recollection my employment dates were -.
As an employer I just worry about the person who stretches his 3 weeks of employment into 12 months.

Do you have any receipts that could probably "jog" your memory as to where you were working and at one time? Put a document together and on this document type all the old employers you had that you can remember, next either lookup their phone numbers in a phone book or call information.
Hopefully this helps
Good luck with obtaining all your old information

Abso-freaking-lutely! Internships are seen via HR to be activity skills and preparation basically as much as paid employment. you prefer to record your internships in a timeline basically such as you will for previous paid employment. You incorporate those all on your previous employment section with the heading of the situation the place you interned, the time you have been there and then record out what you worked on, skills and information (this would incorporate any preparation you won). be beneficial to show any advantages won on a similar time as there and particular initiatives you have been able to be certain to fruition. you will have to place your volunteer paintings in a separate section and basically point out what the paintings replaced into for and how long you have been a volunteer. I call this section expert affiliations. you will additionally prefer to record any expert agencies you belong to including any fraternities.

I suspect that the answer to this question is that they really want to know how long you stayed with each employer and that if it is more than a year then just do as I have usually done and give the year and maybe the month. this should be enough to satisfy most people and prove how reliable you are.

You don't have to go back all the way to 1983 unless you had the same job for years. Try to go back 10 years from today or less. Also, your tax return should also help you.

Another source that may help jog your memory is going through your old tax returns if you have them back that far. The W2s will at least tell you the years you worked for certain employers.

Just call the employer and ask! If they are no longer there, I guess there is no way to check!
