Dear twnewbie, The employment discrepency, was it a negative termination (would the employer say bad things which surrounded your final exit from employment)?   If it was a negative experience, it is mandatory that your clear things up as soon as possible.  It has already been looked upon as a negative since  "some phone calls you have received during the background investigation last week."  The agencies are paranoid about their appearance and such ommission is going to immediately raise flags about the rest of your application.

Fortunately it was not negative, but it just doesn't align correctly with the information I provided on the forms. I'm just curious if information is deemed incorrect in any form, would it keep me from being invited in for a polygraph. I had so many jobs (being right out of highschool (waitressing type jobs)), that I wasn't able to remember that I left one sooner than I said I did.

Had it been negative, would that have kept me from the polygraph? I'm just trying to figure out how big of a problem a wrong date could be, and if the date being wrong would be seen as negative.

Thanks much
