Answer 1

search your memory, get hypnotised, it will help with anything !

Answer 2

I've had the same problem, and I found a few solutions.

My dad likes to keep records of everything, so he had some of the dates that I've moved to places. I can often guess from those.

I've looked at my old tax documents for my most recent job. The paycheck statements say how much I've earned so far, so I can figure out when I started. And I can use my bank statements as well.

Relatives sometimes remember things about us we don't. If you don't have any documents though, you should always ask the employer. Explain why you need the information.

There are always linked memories. When I started my first job in high school, Bill and Teds was out in the cinema. I spent one of my first paychecks on getting a certain album that I remember was in the charts. Now, those dates I can find more easily, even online.

You may have some receipts, personal events, other things that other people remember than happened on days near then.

The recruiter will be asking the employer the same thing, to verify you're telling the truth. Of course, if it has gone out of business (has happened to me), there's no way to verify exact dates.

If you don't know exact dates, give a month.

Answer 3

If you can, contact the Social Security Administration as they have a record of times and $$$ you made in each company. If you worked but did not report it, and did not write this information then you should create a generalized resume with no dates, mention the month and year only! Good luck!

Answer 4

It is a good idea to keep a notebook of information about the jobs you have held; dates, supervisor names, addresses, phone numbers, job title and responsibilities, etc.

As for dates, do you still have copies of your taxes from those years? If not then do the best you can on the dates. Month and year should be sufficient.

Answer 5

Wait for your Social Security statement... It includes a brief summary of your work history.

Fill in the blanks as far as actual employers yourself.

Answer 6

know anyone that worked there?

if not then just estimate dates....as long as ur close then it doesnt really matter. they just want to see ur work history and about how long u stayed at each job (shows dependability and longevity)
