Does anyone know how employers go about checking an applicant's employment history? Is there some kind of employment history agency/database that maintains this information, like credit reporting agencies (TRW, Experian) for credit history?
I'm looking for a temporary entry-level retail position, but I don't want to include my college info just in case they think I'm over qualified. Leaving out my college info would present a gap in my employment history, but I can embellish a bit by saying that I worked at my parent's store (I did), and stretch the period of employment a little.
However, I don't want that info to reappear when I'm looking for another job, so I'm curious.
If anyone knows anything about this, I would appreciate it.
Thanks.
