I have a question about my work history. I am 21 years old and had 5 jobs so far. I do understand the background investigator will contact my employers and the problem is, my first and second job I quit because I couldn't handle the people's attitudes and basically left both slamming the door behind me swearing at everybody. Initially, I thought these two might be a bad idea to put down on my application but then I thought if I'm going to be straight up and not lie, then I might as well be straight up about everything and just see what happens. 

Here is my question. I spoke to my friend about this and he said there is no way anybody can find out about my first 2 jobs because my employers did not have my social security number. Even though they paid me with a check, I never had to use my SNN even when I cashed it. So he's saying it's impossible for them to trace me and just omit those two. 

I disagreed because I think if they really want to, then they will trace me and find out. So who is right here? Me or him? I'm going to put down those 2 regardless but I still needed to ask if that's even possible for them to trace me when I didn't even use my SNN back then when I worked.

If anybody could clarify this for me I'd appreciate that.

Dippitty-

How much emphasis is placed on prior employment?  Lets say, hypathetically speaking of course  , that a certain someone worked at a business for 3 days, hated it, and then quit?  I know it doesn't look good, but what is your opinion?

It goes into the mix and is considered along with all other relevant factors.  If however, we find out about an unreported job, that raises a very serious red flag
