I had mistakenly forgot to include the several months from the FT role, therefore the number I had entered was several months off. However, there was one question on the form which had asked for the total number of months of previous work experience. The application form itself had not asked to list any previous work experience or previous employers, so I did not “omit” any information there. My mentors in the industry had recommended I leave it off, furthermore the career websites I had consulted had all stated that it is fine to not include every individual previous work experience on your resume.The FT experience was not very impressive (relative to the FO internships), therefore was not as relevant to be included.There was not enough space to list it (unless I either went over 1 page or made the font size stupidly small).However, prior to those internships I had also worked full time for several months, I had not included that FT experience on my resume for three reasons: I have completed multiple FO internships, all of which I had listed on my resume. I recently received an offer from a bank for a FT Analyst role, I accepted the offer both verbally over the phone and via email.Ī few days after accepting the offer (before progressing to sign the contract), I was called in for a “meeting” with HR, where I was asked to confirm details regarding a “gap” on my resume.Įverything I had listed on my resume was 100% honest and correct (including GPA, all previous education and work experience details, even extracurricular activities and skills etc.) However, I had not included every individual item of previous work experience.
