Rescinded Job Offer? |
I applied at a very Large Corporation. Everything went perfect, I was even told they stopped interviewing candidates after my interview and offered me a position, sent an offer letter and I was getting my background check. When I applied, I hadn't updated my resume. It had a past date for my degree, but my degree was still in progress. I told the woman who interviewed me, and I emailed everyone who was in charge of my case that this was incorrect. I got a call today that they are rescinding the job offer due to discrepancy of dates on my Degree. Had I put a future date, or no date it wouldn't have been an issue. I just emailed the recruiter and the hiring manager my updated resume along with a note stating that I was still interested in any available positions should they come up. The Recruiter responded almost right away with "Not a problem, thank you so much for your follow-up. Good luck on your job search and have a great week!" Do I have a shot? Or is my mistake too big? They may have a strict policy on falsification of information, whether intentional or not. Being a large organization, they have to do things across the board or risk legal consequences. So, always make sure your resume is 100% up to date. Source(s): n1 I think because you told the person who interviewed you, this really should not have been an issue. Make sure your resume reflects all the correct info and keep applying. Good luck If they rescinded the job offer, they probably consider that you had false info on your resume as a sign that you can't be trusted. Telling people you talked to was a good start, but apparently for them wasn't enough. Change your resume, and NEVER hand one out with info that isn't correct. Too big, you're dead. This type of discrepancy is a real issue now. Why put a date on your resume at all? In the future put "to be conveyed". Also, this is not a little issue, this is a HUGE issue. This has happened too often recently where people have claimed degrees they don't have. It's been all over the news. You're out. Sorry. As the others said, never ever hand in an incorrect/incomplete resume. Ultimately it's the only thing the background checkers have to go on after interviewing several folks. Good luck You were very straight forward with them. They should have had no problem. But in larger business, the people in charge often get bent out of shape of small things like a resume that has not been updated properly. Make sure you have updated every detail and try again later. |
