    Bakgrundskontroll First Advantage

    Got an positive feedback and an verbal job offer yesterday. Have been informed that First Advantage will do an background check, I will probably start before, this is finalised. But there are some details i didn't mentioned in my CV. Not sure if this will be reported as discrepancies by First Advantage.


    So the question is should i provide this info to the recruter or not. I have drafted an Email, but now Im not sure if I should send it. Have I brunt all bridges or is there a chance that the will hire me. Do you have any thoughts?
    See email: To make an easy overlook in my resume I've shortened it. Thereof I didn't mentioned all the detail listed below. Hope that this wont be an issue for hiring me. I'm worried that these things, might come back as discrepancies as First Advantage do my background check. Which might raise questions. Therefore I want to be as transparent and honest as possible. Can provide you with contracts, references and Certificates if needed. Haven't got my contracts from company A and B. But, can ask for them. Have only provided company C contract, to First Advantage
    Details:
    *Remembered when I first started at company A, I was actually employed by an consultant company called XX. Worked in the same posison, I got hired to, by company A, approximately a month later. Have the contract from consultant company xx at home, in my native language. But have not provided this to First Advantage, as it is not in english.
    By an honest misstake, I aoutfilled in my end date at company A, wrong. Ended my employment Jan 2019, right before I started at company B. Worked at company A Jan 2018-Jan 2019.
    Started working for company B earlier, than written Jan 2019. Swiched teams within the departement (same title, contract, manager). As stated in CV, and told during interview, my employment in the XX team started in Marsh 2019. I went on parental leave until I started at company C, I didn't end employment at B until November.
    My Bachelor's degree Certificate was issued in Aug 20XX. But I finished my thesis and everything related to my bachelor's in dec year before. I did my disputation in June 20XX. Have provided my Certificate to First Advantage.

    Not native English or Swedish, but this is not the point right now. Was in a hurry or should we say, Im super stressed  about this. 

    I have bad negative thoughts, that all these misstakes will lead to the offer being withdrawn. Should Ive kept quiet  or was it good to be honest about it. Time will tell, but right know Im in hell. Cant eat, think or sleep....

    Yes Im over stressed about this, and unfortunately I send the email. And it was probably a misstake.. So now I feel even worse for phasing it like that....
