katelynkenton asked:


i am applying for a job and am filling out an application. i need to complete the prior work history section and am drawing a blank on the dates of some of the dates of some of the previous jobs that i have had before. so i need to find out if i could maybe search public records or something to get the dates of employment.

    Call the previous employers and ask them. The HR departments should have that information.

    perhaps just putting the approximate dates… write “approximate” next to dates & this will be sufficient as long as you have the Company name & locations.

    Let me tell you, the applications that don’t ask for their phone numbers to call, don’t worry about the exact dates, because they don’t plan on finding out anyway, but the ones that do ask the phone numbers, if you’re not exactly sure about how long you worked there, just guess approximately. They’re not going to refuse you for not being exact.

    The unemployment office has an accurate list of dates and names of previous employers.
