Hey just a quick question I guess. The agency I am in the hiring process for is doing a background check and employment verification of the past ten years. The problem is I do not remember all the jobs and dates while I was in high school and shortly after. Any advice to solve this problem? I know about using the Social Security website, but that would not get to me in time.
 
Start writing them down and filling in the gaps. When an employer asks you to put down all jobs, they want to see how hard you'll work for them. When I got hired where I'm at currently, I had to write down ALL jobs I've ever had, including exact start and end dates and exact start and end wages. It took a lot of phone calls, but I got it done.

I suppose you could just put down what you remember and forget everything else, but I bet they'll pass you over for the applicant who actually did what they asked.

Understandable, got a hold of recruiting the gaps I will just need to explain which is easy enough. Thanks for the input.
