If they check up on you and find out you can be fired.
If you were paid by your last job it is a simple matter of tax records.
Don't lie. It will catch up with you in the end.

Companies typically require work history with contact information. Invalid contact information would be potentially detrimental (most reputable companies check work and sometimes personal references). The best strategy is to spin it a little where it seems like there may have been more fault on the other company's part or something that could be a mutual falling out. Most importantly, there are many laws against previous employers releasing information related to the nature of your departure (certain information realeased could be grounds for a lawsuit). Stay on the honest side, but feel free to lean a little. =)

Check out the application. There is probably a statement on the application that refers to the truthfulness of everything you include. It further states that if you do not tell the truth you will be fired. The firing could happen long after you are hired and the company would probably fire you regardless of the quality of your work. If they let you get away with this, they ahve to let everyone get away with it. That is what litigation has done to HR.

It all depends on the type of job you apply for. A waitress, janitor, dish washer they don't check. If you apply for a job where you handle money they will check. They contact a security company and run your file and they will know EVERYTHING about you. You think Big Brother is watching, not as much as corperate business.

Unless it's a serious job (handling money, govt employement, etc), they won't know. Back when I was in my 20s I had a handful of crappy jobs that never made the list on my resume. When the interviewer asked about the gap in time between jobs, I told them I worked for a friend with his landscaping business, and just gave them my friend's number. He always backed me up, heh.

Well, did you quit or did you get fired?
If you were fired, the reason that you got fired could potentially disclosed to a future employer, depending on what it was.
How do they find out? Your credit report, will usually list your employers, as this information is reported by credit card companies that have your work information. When they check 2 employers ago...they will also, find your gap of employment.

They'd really have to research it. If you weren't there that long then I wouldn't even worry about putting it down. You could always write that you were let go and tell them that your schedule conflicts with school or something like that. Usually they don't call previous employers.

They call your references. Your references usually tell a LOT more than they are asked. All the HR dept. has to do is to listen.

They can check references, that is why it's always good to leave on good grounds.
