Hi guys, quick question. Say you are working as an associate at an investment bank. The official title is Associate, however, you just became eligible for promotion. So, if you say Senior Associate in your resume, would that cause a problem in background check?
I have similar concerns:
1) I was officially announced to be promoted to Title A from Title B in my current department in Jun 2015. So I put Title A as my ending title in my resume and app. Yet it turn out to be officially effective after my submission date but before my interview date.
2) I omitted Title B in my resume. It should be like Title A (2015-present), Title B (2014-2015). But since the two titles's roles are very similar and are within the same department, and I also have 2 other titles before Title B within the same company, just to save some space, I wrote like Title A (2014-present) and did not mentioned Title B and this promotion.
I've already submitted my package, but found this mistake later. I'm a bit freaked out if this will be a deal breaker? Will the background check dig into such details?
Thanks a million!
