little question

So, hypothetically, if one applied for a job in the public sector, and said application requested all employment history.  And you forgot to put 2 part time jobs from 9 years ago.  Would you go back and resubmit the application, or would you just go with it?

I have worked in the public sector my entire adult life.  

 

The purpose of asking for all employment is mostly so that background checks can be made, if so desired, into all of your employment history.

 

If it is a federal job, I'd resubmit a new application.

 

If it is a state or local job, if you get an interview, just have a revised ready to take with you to the interview.  If you know the HR office handling the application, then give them a call to see how to proceed.

 

If those two jobs are relevant to what you are applying for, then you may want  that to be considered.

It is state, just 2 college jobs, delivering pizza and handing out give aways at the ball park.

Wouldn't worry about it.  The feds do a thorough background check, but, unless you committed work related crimes while delivering pizza, the state likely won't care.  You can just do a mention if you get interviewed.
