I forgot what dates I was employed during college....!?

Question

Is there any way I can find record on myself and what dates I was employed? It was between my 2nd and 3rd year in college - is it really that impt that the dates are completely accurate when applying to jobs now?

Answer 1

For that summer? Why not just state (between (6/XX and 8/XX, worked for XXXX Co.) That'll be close enough.

If it's longer than that, you can check your employment tax records with the IRS. (they keep everything)

Employers don't have to know exact dates, just be sure you're close to being correct (within a month).

Answer 2

The specific dates aren't that important, if it was the summer between your 2nd and 3rd year, then just put "Summer 2005" or whatever summer it was. Also, you could use "May-August 2005" to show that summer. I had to do the same thing on my resume and I used the "Summer" designation. If it's really important to have the specific date, I'm sure prospective employers would call the previous one to see.

Answer 3

Call and ask! I had to do something similar lately when I was filling out a job application. The application was asking for the month and year when I lived at my previous address. I ended up giving them March 1999 to March 2002. I simply made the telephone call to the owners of the apartment complex where I used to live to get the info.

Pick up the phone and call! There's no easier wasy of doing getting your information!!

Answer 4

Try calling and asking the company?

You could try to get away with the month and year, but sometimes people want the exact date (especially if you are getting a background check).

OH you could always try your checking account if it was directly deposited.

Answer 5

I had to guess on my employment dates from a long time ago. I'm sure i was within a month or two, but no one cared or asked me about it.
You'll be fine if you guess. :)

Answer 6

Not really... I've had people estimate or say summer 2005...

Good luck
