Query

“I held a temporary jobs that I kept off my resume since they did not have anything to do with the post I was interviewing for. Can my interviewer find out?”

Answer

When you write your resume, you are offered a restricted amount of space to supply the interviewer with a reason to call you in for a job interview. You require using that space wisely. If you have many random, meaningless part time jobs in between your jobs that have relevancy to the post, it makes perfect sense to need to keep them off your resume.

Can they search out that you left them off your resume? Yes. Will they care? That is debatable. Most interviewers just care that you are not lying on your resume. A great number of companies do thorough background checks to make sure that the candidate didn’t lie on their resume. By omitting data, you didn’t lie. You simply omitted. Interviewers understand that, because they know you have a restricted amount of space on your resume.

Reasons They May Care

That said, it is potential that the interviewer might find an abundance of jobs disturbing. Persons that get hired and leave jobs mostly tend to be less reliable, and this can be a concern to these companies. Similarly, if you held jobs that appear to be odd for someone in your position, they might question whether or not you are qualified for the position.

In general, although, you can assume that interviewers aren’t too concerned with the jobs you do not put on your resume. They are going to be far more concerned with any examples of lying or deceit.
