I have a gap in my job history. After a few years of using my honest resume, it became clear that the gap was preventing me in obtaining gainful employment appropriate for my level of skill and experience. In order to cover the gap on my resume, I long ago deleted Job A I only held for 7 months and extended the time spent at Job B. I’ve been through seven rounds of interviews and was finally extended an offer to a company I want to work for. They have only now asked me to fill out an employment application (which to my understanding is a legal document and precisely why they request those who have received an offer to fill it out) I was told by the recruiter that they will verify the dates. What is my recourse? Do I put the correct dates of Job B (the longer job) which will conflict with the dates listed on my resume OR do I put Job A on my application since those dates are correct – and more recent- but was omitted from my resume and will also conflict with Job B’s dates listed on my resume?
