You're getting destroyed because you're an international sophomore

Also are you working at two internships simultaneously? That would raise a flag with HR tbh

[proud fulcrum]

im doing the same thing. do u think itd be worth it to just put one of the internships for half the summer, and the other one the other half or two separate years if i didnt intern last year?

[chrome vapor]

You don't want to lie either lmao

You'll get background checked at all the companies you received offers from

A common background checking third party is HireRight. Those guys will actually call your employers, and confirm your employment timeline (along with other info). You can omit employment, both in your resume and afterwards when you supply that info to them, but you can't/shouldn't lie

[proud fulcrum]

what do u think I should do then cause I don't have a lot of work experience just these two internships so I don't want to take any of them out

[proud fulcrum]

do they check your timeline to the exact month?

[chrome vapor]

Well... How do you have two jobs? The answer to that question can really change things

[proud fulcrum]

one of them is remote and in a completely different time zone so i work on one of them at night and the other one is during the day in my home country

[chrome vapor]

They check to the exact start/end date, but I think they're not too crazy about it. Accuracy to the month is good enough

[proud fulcrum]

but say i put one of them as may-july and the other one from july-aug when they were both actually june-aug?

would that get flagged?

[chrome vapor]

Sounds like something an employment lawyer would be helpful in tbh. I'm not equipped enough to answer. I myself am an international, but I didn't work two jobs like that out of fear of creating complications for myself.

[proud fulcrum]

oh ok nah i only did it cus i barely have any work experience i didnt really think about this tho

appreciate the heads up tho

[chrome vapor]

Honest advice, I'd just list the home country internship. It shouldn't cause too much trouble even with the same dates.

[proud fulcrum]

Ok so I should leave out the remote US one?

Or just keep both, I have the US one listed as remote tho

[chrome vapor]

Just keep both man

And when it comes down to the offer, you'll have to give a list of prev experience. You can just not supply the home country internship at that stage

[proud fulcrum]

Ok, sounds good

[red burrow]

same thing as the other dude
