A prospective employer could check several things before deciding if an applicant is the right person to hire, including employment history and work experience, so it’s important to be sure accurate information is provided on the application and resume. If an applicant lacks work experience, it is important to address the reasons he or she is a suitable candidate for the job in the cover letter. Employers will pre-screen employment history in regards to job title and job description, starting and ending dates of employment and salary, and will also reach out to former employers, so it’s best to be truthful in all information that is provided.
